A Week in the Ozarks - a pictorial essay



We returned last weekend from a wonderful retreat in the Arkansas Ozarks!  It was perfect timing for us - we were so ready for a new travel adventure!  We left our home Friday morning and after a one night stay in Little Rock, we arrived on Saturday afternoon at Horseshoe Bend, Arkansas.   While we saw wonderful fall colors during the first day of our travels in Southern Arkansas, most of the trees in Northern Arkansas were already losing their leaves.  However, even in Northern Arkansas, we saw a lot of beautiful Red Ash trees still retaining their shimmery red and gold colors.  In fact,  I wish I had taken more photos as I was so struck by their gorgeous hues.




We spent a week at Crown Point Resort, a lovely "hidden gem" in the North Central Ozarks of Arkansas:

We stayed in a relaxing, well-equipped condo with a large balcony:



From the balcony, we had lovely views of Crown Point Lake:



We also enjoyed daily visits from our furry friends:

I got in lots of exercise in the indoor pool and spa:


And at the fitness center:


We alsp took a side trip to Branson, Missouri, where we watched a fantastic family Christmas Show by the Hughes Brothers and their families!  A truly wonderful way to begin the holiday season!
