Just drove through Little Rock on our way to Hot Springs. We decided we had to take a quick detour when we saw the sign for the William J Clinton Presedential Center and Park.
That place was HUGE. Got lots of pictures but of course it was closed as everything else we've sen today. At least we can say we've seen the Clinton Presedential Library and School of Public Service.
Back on the highway headed for Hot Springs and just pssed a sign that read "Next 5 counties dry". Thanks for the warning!

We crossed the Misissippi!
...and I know how to spell it! Who doesn't though?
Sadly the pc to usb adapter for our wireless card broke. :( Luckily we have internet on the phone..sucky but better then nothing. Are you sensing a theme?
Anyhoo, we are now in Arkansas. Just crossed over the river shortly ago. We drove around the city, saw Beale street, and stopped in the welcome center. No time for ribs though. :(
Hopefully we will find free wi-fi somewhere along the way so we can continue psting pictures!

Time to open the champagne..
We're ready! Champagne all around..

Getting ready to ring in the New Year!
Still time warping to post pictures. Apparently people are complaining that our blog is getting boring. LOL. Sorry, we will try to be more entertaining. :wink:
We rested, we napped, we sat around for hours..then decided it was time to get ready for the big party. We couldn't ring in the New Year looking grungy, being dirty, and smelling ripe (at least Lisa did - I smelled fine. Haha. Just kidding, Lis!)
Unfortunately, the RV didn't have running water because it came from NJ and had been winterized. Instead of running water we had running anti-freeze. We were going to be "clean" though, dammit!
So, we traveled across the street to our 24 hour Walgreens and picturesque view and picked up some essentials: baby wipes, DentaBurst, and PSSSSSST. What is PSSSSSST you ask? Dry Shampoo of course. Why they named is PSSSSSST, i don't know. Maybe because you could pronounce it "pissed" and your pissed that you can't use real shampoo and you have to use that crap instead. "Hey, Lisa. Hand me the pissed".
Here's our PSSSSSST and DentaBurst..
Apparently I have no idea how to use the macro setting on the camera, but you get the point!
Before "showering" and "washing our hair" we decided to clean our smelly feet. I'll admit, it was my feet that smelled. BAD! Lisa's nice and didn't complain. Luckily, I had gotten Lisa a Tea Tree Oil Foot Mask for Christmas and we had it with us and it doesn't require water! You just slather it on and peel it off 30 minutes later and it leaves your feet minty fresh and feeling soft.
I need a photography class when I get home!
Foot mask time!
In case you ever decide to try a foot mask, one tip, make sure you are sitting exactly where you want to be because you aren't going anywhere for a while!
We relaxed, peeled off our masks, "washed" each other's hair, bathed with baby wipes, changed our clothes and putting on a little makeup. God to it feel good!
Lisa throwing gang signs (must have took lessons from Owen)
Trying to suck it in...too bad it didn't work.
We are happy and ready to parrrrrtay!

Day 2 - Afternoon
After our venture out to the store, we settled in and got comfortable for a long but fun day in the RV.
J.J was wondering why we weren't moving..
Moose says, "Let's get this show on the road. I'll drive if I have to!"
Lisa napped while I blogged, surfed the web, and watched the Office. I promised her I wouldn't take a picture of her sleeping and post it on the blog. Technically, I didn't...

...and we're off!
The new RV arrived promptly at 7:00 am this morning. We moved all of our crap and all of the animals and we are on our way!
Thank you El Monte for bringing us a new RV!
Hopefully this one will be good to us.
Post more pictures soon.
