Day Three - Van Buren, Arkansas

So here we are at the end of Day Three, we've stopped for the night in Van Buren, Arkansas. The only thing I know about this place is that apparently Prohibition is still in effect here, because it's a dry county and NO BEER. And just so you know, when you go to ask about where to buy beer in a dry county, they look at you like you're a delinquent. Especially if you happen to have a 5 month old baby with you at the time. As the lady behind me in Walmart said when she heard me ask - "We don't believe in alcohol here in Crawford County." Okay.....

We passed some interesting places today. Toad Suck Park, anyone? Seriously, that's the name of it.

Anyway, here are the stats for Day Three:

Miles traveled: 280.

Number of hours Aiden was knocked out from Benedryl - ZERO.

Number of times Aiden screeched at the top of his lungs and scared his brother half to death - 27.

Number of A*hole drivers who gunned by us only to get pulled over a few miles ahead - 1.

Number of times Aiden watched Cars - zero. Only because I took the DVD player away because he was kicking it.

Off to Stillwater, OK tomorrow!

Perhaps if more in that county rode in a car with a baby and 2 yr old all day they'd see the need for alcohol.
