⛲ Hot Springs, AR Family Vacation in 19 Hours Pt II

Family Vacation at Hot Springs continued...

Our first thing was getting some breakfast. We managed to stop at a mom and pop place downtown called The Pancake Shop. Reminded me of Stephenville's Jake & Dorothy's or Dublin's Granny Clarks. It was seriously delicious and the kids also enjoyed it! This place was so small, we waited about half an hour at the shop next door. 

Someone really enjoyed their big boy meal! Their orange juice was fresh squeezed and it was a bit tart! 

We walked all over Bathhouse Row and discovered lovely shops including the Mountain Valley Spring Water shop. That was the best water I've ever had...

There were displays of where Mountain Valley water bottles had appeared in Hollywood films. 

We kept walking and making our way back to Bathhouse Row...

We came back to the Fordyce Bathhouse. It was a free bathhouse you could tour. Lots of history and cool artifacts to see. 

This was their gym--

After an hour or so, Grumpy Pants #1 had had it with the pictures and the tour. So off we went to the next little spring in town. 

We stopped in to Superior Bathhouse. It's the World's Only Thermal Water beer and it was something special! We almost convinced one another that we needed a 64 ounce Growler to go. This place had unique flavors and a cool back story. Their restaurant also served some killer Spinach Parmesan dip! 

And that's it! We trekked back to good ol' Houston after this...as always, thanks to Gary for driving. He's the trustiest guy to have around. I love ya, babe!
