1) Paying $200/night for a hotel room is worth it just for the bed. Our bed at Chateau on the Lake was the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in. Plus, they had the best damn hot chocolate in the world. I think I came close to needing an intervention for getting off the hot chocolate.
2) The traffic in Branson sucks. Now, we only went to Branson because that is where Chateau on the Lake is. We came into town at one end and the hotel was at the other end. Which meant we had to drive across town in the most horrible, terrible traffic. And most of the drivers are 60+, which makes the driving all the more intersting. It took us 45 minutes to go 3 miles.
3) Driving from Branson to Eureka Springs was about 45 minutes on windy, twisty roads. There are NO bathrooms between Branson and Eureka Springs. After downing 2 hot chocolates before leaving, I was about to burst 1/2 way to Eureka Springs. We were debating pulling over and peeing in a cow pasture. Luckily we got 5 minutes from Eureka Springs and there was a Conoco. YEA..
4) There are true rednecks out there. We saw a truck in Eureka Springs that had some writing on it done with shoe polish. Apparently the couple were on their honeymoon. The two things we saw on the truck were, and I quote, "It's official Cody is not gay." Not too bad, but here's the good one. "To have and to hold" and they had drawn a penis on the passenger side window. We couldn't believe it. Once we saw that truck, we kept running into it. Now that is true class there. NOT
5) The Basin Hotel in Eureka Springs has the best coconut shirmp. We ate there twice just for the shrimp. I am getting hungry just thinking about it.
6) There is absoulty nothing to see on the road between the Arkansas border and Harrisonville, MO. (about 150 miles)
7) NEVER, NEVER, NEVER plan a vacation to the tropics during Hurricane season.
*Pictures to be coming next week of our fun filled trip around Missouri and Arkansas.
