Six Years!

On our way to North Carolina to spend a week with Emily's family, Em and I decided to stop by Arkansas and celebrate our anniversary. We didn't just randomly pick Arkansas, either. I lived in there for seven years or so and that's where I graduated from High School.

On a side note--there is a fitting Anniversary-related quote on our quote board (look to the right-hand side of the blog) "I can't believe it! She's still with you." Yeah, I can't either, Bry.

We left Albuquerque on Friday, July 23rd and drove to Gentry, Arkansas. We found a cute Bed and Breakfast there called the Apple Crest Inn. Here are some pics...

That evening we went to a nearby restaurant called the Wooden Spoon which is run by the Mennonite women in the area. It was awesome home-cooked goodness! If you are in NW Arkansas it is worth a detour to eat there.

On Saturday (our 6 year anniversary!) we got up and drove to Central Arkansas, spent the afternoon visiting with old friends, and eating some great food. Those fans of Man vs. Food might have heard of a little place in Cabot, AR (where I used to live) called the Mean Pig BBQ. We ate there for lunch. It would have been nice to spend a little bit longer there, but we just had to get to the beach! After eating some awesome dinner with great company (thanks Brother and Sister Williams!) we left Central AR at about 8pm Saturday evening and drove straight through the night so we could make it to Raleigh, NC.

P.S. If anyone is looking at buying a bed and breakfast, the Apple Crest is for sale.
