Valentine and Birthday Getaway 2010


Paul and I were able to get away for a Valentine celebration in Eureka Springs, Ark. Its about an hour from Carthage and a beautiful drive. We were so looking forward to having some time together. The roads are hilly and narrow and we ended up on a pretty steep road right before the hotel. We decided to back up and whoops ended up in a ditch.....good thing for AAA they were there in no time and got us out!




We stayed at the Crescent Hotel and Spa. It was built in 1886 and is just gorgeous. They have renovated it over the years but have managed to keep its original beauty and majesty. Eureka Springs reminds us of Lake Tahoe, with all the wonderful views. (They even have a lake nearby.) Our room was comfy and looking out the window we felt so very far away and in a different world. We explored, shopped, ate wonderful food and relaxed.
View from our table at breakfast.


The hotel sits up at the top of the hill.
They have a restaurant called the Crystal Dining room, its very elegant and the atmosphere is fine dining. The tables are far apart so it feels so private. We were served a 5 course meal that was well....incredible. Beautifully presented as well.


One of the many surprises I enjoyed! We came home renewed and refreshed!
Its so hard to get away but so worth it!
