Now, I have been to Arkansas, on a family vacation in 1998 (seriously, our best vacation ever!) but Ian hadn't, so he was a little skeptical.
So, we packed a suitcase, put gas in the car, and set off on the 5 hour drive across the wonderfully elongated state of TN.
A first highlight of the trip was going across the mighty Mississippi. It wasn't so mighty here, but we could imagine.

After, a couple of phone calls by Russ to his contacts, he located us a new home! It's a parsonage in Earle, Arkansas that is not in use, and that they offered for us for 6 months free! Unfortunately, it doesn't make sense to go to a place with no job, where there is really no industry for a prospect of a job, since we have free housing here.
Sad. It is so cute!

We spent most of our three days there just hanging out with the family. Talking, eating, watching TV, talking, and taking the girls to the park.
