Day Trip--Part 1

Yesterday Tony and I took a day trip to Eureka Springs! It's about an hour away from where we live. It was so. much. fun. (Because there are lots of pictures I'm doing a couple different posts about the things we did)

Ok, so on the way to our home you'll see lots of bundles of hay. From the road they honestly don't look that big. When we were here last summer, I kept telling Tony I thought I could push one over. I even thought I could do it yesterday. Tony pulled over and told me to give it a try and I made the wager that if I was able to push it, I could buy this adorable belted trench jacket... click here to see it. It is so cute. Anyways, I gave it my all in hopes of this jacket. I really tried but when you get up close, hay is a lot bigger than you think!!!

Tony was getting a kick out of me trying, so he was taking pictures. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to make it budge.
Goodbye beautiful jacket.
Back in the car and onto Eureka Springs!

Eureka Springs was founded in 1879 so the buildings are old and beautiful. It's a pretty seasonal town so a lot of the sites are open different times of the year. So unfortunately we weren't able to do everything. We'll just have to go back this summer. They have a trolley that you can take throughout the town so this summer we're for sure doing that.

The city was having their Mardi Gras celebration yesterday so the place was packed with visitors. Lots of them dressed up in crazy costumes which was really fun to see.

Some of these shops sell some of the most random things. Like this place,

Outside were shelves and shelves of slag glass for sale. Some were really beautiful. We talked about buying one but really, what would we do with slag glass in our apartment?

Behind me is a huge mound of slag glass in all different sizes. They sold the pieces by the pound. I wish I could think of something really creative to do with it!
*any ideas on what to do with slag glass?
