Home Again

Today we drove back home to Kansas. This is our cabin with the kids making their own fun while we get all our stuff together so Jason can load the car while I get them dressed. Our normal "vacation" breakfast is French toast. I never make it at home and almost always make it on vacation. I am not sure why other than it is good, though not so good I want it all the time and it's very easy to make with a very few basic ingredients and is very easily customizable to what you have on hand. I think the first time I did it was in Puerto Rico where the hotel we stayed at supplied you with eggs, milk, and bread so it was kind of an obvious thing to make. Since then we frequently do it including several times in Florida and yesterday. But we wanted to try the Devil's Den restaurant, so we forwent our traditional vacation breakfast and went out.

Our breakfast was okay. The food was generously portioned and reasonably priced, yet only mediocre tasting. And it took a full hour (at one point we wondered if the waitress was actually the cook, but apparently they were just slow). But we were glad to try to the restaurant, and we got to walk around the pretty recreation area one more time.

On the way home, we decided to take a scenic detour and drive the Pig Trail Scenic Byway. There are a lot of scenic drives I would love to take in Arkansas, though most of them are a little further east than we were on this trip. But this one wasn't too far out of our way, so we decided to take it knowing it probably wouldn't be super exciting. It wasn't. There were some nice forest views and some decent scenic overlooks like this one, but it wasn't super special. However, Jason and I love driving on state and federal highways (as opposed to interstates) so we really enjoyed it anyhow. And because we didn't add too much time to our trip, we were able to make it to the vet just a hair before 6pm, so we were able to get the dogs today which is good because we are both pretty busy tomorrow.
