We had a wonderful time on our quick road trip to Arkansas! We journeyed with our friends, the Fespermans, and stayed in some really cool deluxe cabins. The evening was short since we got down there around 8pm, but we stayed up to ring in the New Year. Jason and Jennifer cooked up what looked like a wonderful surf 'n' turf meal of steak and shrimp, baked potatoes, and salad. I was feeling too nauseous to eat, unfortunately, but it looked delicious! I enjoyed an entire bottle of sparkling cranberry-apple juice! haha The cabins were really awesome and slept 6 people. Tobin fixed a huge breakfast for everyone the next morning with his new griddle! On New Year's Day, we hiked a ~4 mile trail to Hawk's Bill Crag, otherwise known as Whitaker Point. It was 26 degrees and windy. We all bundled up and enjoyed it anyway. However, I don't recommend the Arctic blast that occurs when one must pee in the outdoors during these conditions. I had to stop every so often to catch my breath and get my heart rate in check, but no one seemed to mind! The views were fantastic, the company was great, and the trip was a much needed break from the recent fast-paced holiday.Breakfast in our cabin New Year's morning
