July 9, 2021 : Travel Day

And so concludes the first stop on our adventure!


We made it on the road only about 40 minutes later than planned and headed to pick up Jocelyn. With the backseat full of kids, towards Arkansas we went! 

After a bit lengthier than expected lunch due to two super chatty kids who could not pause long enough to take a bit, we finally made it to the state line.




We made it to our next destination: Crater of Diamonds, AR at about 4:30pm. John was thrilled! He had found this park when a different place was booked, and it was the the “destiny” he was most excited about.


The campsite was absolutely stunning; Richard said it had the nicest hook ups he had seen too. While he got the trailer settled, the kids and I did the Little Missouri River Trail (1.2 miles) that was right across from our campsite. 


After a beautiful sunset through the trees - that just seemed to make everything seem alright - it was time for s’mores then bed.




Tomorrow, we hunt for diamonds!
