This is my family's sixth trip to Eureka Springs, Arkansas. It is our favorite fall destination. It's within just a few hours drive of home, but a completely different atmosphere from central Oklahoma.
The city has a distinct Victorian charm. Sloping streets... antique shops... mom and pop restaurants... wooded areas everywhere. And solitude. This morning, Mary and I sat on the front porch and enjoyed the serene peace and quiet that is so scarce back home.
Every time we come, we fantasize about having a second home here. But even Eureka Springs can be on the pricey side. For now, we'll just enjoy the changing leaves and time away from the dailyness of life.
