Hot Springs

Near the end of September adventure was calling and we answered by high-tailing it down the road to Arkansas. Hot Springs is interesting and weird all at once. It's known for it's ties to Major League Baseball, illegal gambling and gangsters, and of course the thermal water that flows from 47 springs in the downtown district; there's really quite a lot of diverse history to learn about there. We toured an old bathhouse (c-r-e-e-p-y!), held alligators at a petting zoo and took a very sweaty but beautiful walk through a botanical garden. We also sat in our motel room and watched the Seahawks lose to the Packers, but we won't dwell on that too much :)
