Arkansas travelers, day 1


One thing about living in GA, we are now about 6 hours closer to the relatives. We drove to Arkansas in less than 10 hours for the first time in over 30 years. It was nice to have help driving this time, as I drove the first leg of the journey and Brandon drove the 2nd. We arrived around 4:45pm Saturday and we had just finished unpacking when Carl and Sharon arrived. Coincidentally, his job sent him to Arkansas for a few days, so they were able to join us for the beginning of the vacation week. Josh, Janelle and Brielle had arrived earlier on Thursday.

We headed to Red Lobster to eat supper and celebrate Janelle's birthday. I enjoyed the "winning recipe" which was featured from The Next Food Network Star TV show - Macdamia Tilapia with White Chocolate Beurre Blanc (made by Kelsey Nixon.) She was given two main ingredients, tilapia and white chocolate, and had to create a meal from these two items. This main course was fresh tilapia topped with toasted macadamia nuts and coconut over a buttery sauce with a hint of sweet white chocolate (and delicious!)
