The trip between Arkansas and Bay St. Louis, Mississippi is about 7 hours of driving – which for us is about 9 hours of travel. We wanted to arrive late afternoon which is why we were trying to leave early. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The day was grey and we were expecting to drive through some rain at some point. We\u2019ve been fortunate to have mostly gorgeous weather. Driving through Arkansas looked a lot like this\u2026\u2026pretty green, some trees, lots of land. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the second gas stop, we found Snowballs. Siah\u2019s been wanting to try them. The package had 2, so each boy got one to try.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And then Siah got to eat both of them because they were NOT Judah\u2019s fav.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We crossed into Mississippi just before noon and the rain started. We passed a sign for the Petrified Forrest and Jon shared a story about how he had petrified wood as a child and we made the decision to stop and check out the gift shop. We weren\u2019t gonna do the trail because it was raining but we could stop and maybe find a souvenir. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We parked and ran through the rain to the gift shop. It was filled with Rocks and Gems and was such a fun place to check out. Jon got a piece of petrified wood which was a fun memory. It\u2019s really cool looking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The petrified wood is really cool and I can only imagine how interesting the trail must be. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I love the Color\u2019s of the different rocks and gems. They are just so vibrant and beautiful. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
