Bathhouse Row with Xmas lights (at night)

I’m convinced I was a good girl last year, no, make that very good. For our 4th date, Jeff and I went to Hot Springs, Arkansas. He had brought up seeing the historic bath houses after our first date, and I was finally taking him up on it. 😛

I still had the yucky flu and brought along my arsenal of drinks to stave off from getting worse. While I thought I was in mood for another round of fish tacos, I changed my mind at the last second when I spotted the Cracker Barrel in the same parking lot we pulled into. Cracker Barrel spells “comfort food” for me: biscuits, corn bread muffins, and Chicken and Dumplings. It was exactly what I needed!

The after-dinner treat was seeing the spectacular display of Xmas lights near Bathhouse Row. BTW, all these photos are compliments of Jeff, my pro-bono guest photographer.

You can’t tell me the world isn’t a better place during the holidays! Be still my heart.
