Wilma’s Real Really Really Good Food

On the day we went to eat at Wilma’s Real Good Food, the real Wilma, Brett’s Mom, was helping around the trailer. That’s why I had to scrap my original clever titles Inside Wilma’s and Wilma’s Under The Covers. Seeing Wilma talking to customers and helping her son was just as much fun as actually eating Brett’s amazing food. Naming a business after your Mom must be an ultimate quality control.

Star Spangled Banner Yet Wave

In Johnson County, it’s mandatory for the candidates with foreign-sounding names to be photographed draped in the American flag. Just in case…

Bent-On-Ville

By now only a lazy person didn’t make a trip to Bentonville, AR to check out the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art - the first major art museum opened in the USA in the past 40 years. The road to Bentonville is fast and easy and if you are bored, there are places to see along the way like Nevada, MO, Precious Moments Chapel, or George Washington Carver National Monument (we did stop there but I didn’t take any pictures).

There isn’t much to do in Bentonville, unless you like playing golf. As a matter of fact, golf is so popular in Arkansas that you can get a special license plate with a golfer on it. For a non-golfing tourist Bentonville offers two points of interest – the aforementioned Art Museum and the Walmart Visitor Center.

Walmart Visitor Center is located in the Town Square where Mr. Walton opened his first store in 1950.

Weird Missouri: Precious Moments

The Chapel at Precious Moments is just as beautiful as the Sistine Chapel. I have been to both. Obviously Precious Moments was painted in a more modern style, but they are on the same level. Amazing Place!

No. I did not make this up.

I’ve seen many things during my travels but the Precious Moments gift store and attached Chapel take the cake for being the strangest, creepiest place I’ve ever been to.
