Extended Weekend Getaway: Arkansas

Tax season is over and Phuonganator needed a vacation. I could use one too. We set out to Arkansas to visit Chi Lien and Andy.



Fuel: Thai Crunch Salad from the MarketPlace. Good flavors and textures; Gotta love peanut sauce!


Devil's Den State Park




Lake Atlanta


Harvesting watercress?


Sam's Roll? Forgot what that restaurant was - but very yummy, similar to Tokyo's YumYum Roll. Full house and quick service!


Perfect Catch. Hibachi at Sho-Gun's.


If you're a fan of Almond Joy (like I am) Ohh. Emm. Gee. Moment.The Almond Joy Concrete at Andy's Frozen Custard - So Delish!





Cosmic Cavern. Natural formations...pretty amazing.

In Branson, Missouri

Eww Lien!


The next apprentice.

First serving of Crawfish for the season. It was good, but needed the sausage and corn on the cob to bring it too the next level. Can't wait for the Mom and Phuong's Crawfish Boil this summer!


Acrobats of China Show.


One of the best shows I've seen. So young. So much talent. Way better than Shen Yun Performing Arts Show! My favorite was the Butterfly Love performance, a love story told through aerial acrobatics. Uh-May-Zing.

Home bound. My thoughts on Arkansas: Rustic, rural yet modern, calm and relaxing. Everyone's so kind here!
P.s. Chi Ngoc's seafood gumbo - awesome.
