DAY TRIP TO CRYSTAL BRIDGES

i can’t believe i’m just now sharing these beautiful photos with y’all.

a few weeks ago i went with one of my professors and a few DHM babes on a fun, quick field trip (okay, technically it was for professional development, but that doesn’t sound as fun.) to bentonville, arkansas. we had a couple other company meetings on our agenda, but i wanted to share my favorite part of the day with you!

between meetings we went to the crystal bridges museum of american art for a little brunch and a little culture.

if you live in the area, or are looking for a good place to take a roadtrip to this would be a fantastic getaway. i wish we would have had more time to look at all of the different art galleries and art trails that wind through the hills around the museum.

in the museum, you’ll find cafe Eleven and a lovely coffee bar right inside the main doors. cafe Eleven is open for brunch, lunch and dinner and they take reservations if you want to be fancy. (SCORE!) since i was on prep i opted for the grilled salmon salad with a lemon vinaigrette..great choice!

and you can’t take a group of college girls anywhere without hitting up the coffee bar. besides the normal espresso cappuccino, macchiato, and lattes they had a few specialty drinks, like a milky way latte and a honey lavender latte.

i went for the honey lavender latte…you should go for the honey lavender latte!

(i had it made with almond milk.)

besides the food and coffee, the art was great, and i mean these pictures of the landscape just don’t do it justice. it’s one of those “you had to be there” things.
