We're home.

Well, it was a wonderful trip to Arkansas; it was the first I had been back during the spring in a long time...and I loved it. My yearly trip is usually at Christmas, when it is very cold and all the trees are brown. Spring in Arkansas is in the 70's and all the flowers are blooming. We got to have parties outside, play horseshoes (and snake ball), go to a "hillbilly" theme park, walk outside at night, smell honeysuckle (oh the honeysuckle), and just enjoy hanging out with all our wonderful friends. I will never go back again during Christmas, I am going to change my yearly trip to the spring time...I remember the last time I went back in the spring, I ended up staying the whole summer because it was so much fun. And this time was just the same. I am putting some of the pictures in an online album on Flickr for those of you that want to see pics of all the things we did. As much fun as we had, we were glad to return home (so was our kitty). The next morning after flying home, we both felt like we had a vacation hangover complete with headaches and sore muscles. We have recovered now and have just been enjoying being home...our garden even had some strawberries for us to eat. Now, we are preparing for the Memorial Day weekend. There is a crazy kinetic sculpture race that starts tomorrow, lots of Bar-B-Q's, and the Stanley Cup Playoffs begin.
