"Gangster Museum, Cupcakes, & Twirling"

Okay guys, this is my final installment of my vacation pictures from my Hot Springs trip in December. The next post will be me sharing all of the awesome stuff I got from the antique shops.

 I can't wait to show you all the treasures I found! 

It's hard to get my friends to snap pictures of me.
 I can't sit/stand still. I'm constantly moving
 so most of my shots turn out blurry, but I
kinda like them. 

There's a cupcake shop there called
"Fat Bottomed Girls Cupcake Shoppe".
 We got the strawberry cheesecake and red velvet
ones to share and they were amazing! 

We went and ate at this tiny breakfast diner and
 this was the scenery driving back. Every where you
 looked there was a mountain in the distant.
It was also gloomy and I loved it so much.
This might make you hate me, but I'm constantly
 saying "ugh, I hate the sun".
I know I'm just taking it for granted,
 but it hurts my eyes and I'm a wuss
so I really love cloudy weather. 

This was a pretty little area in Downtown.
I thought it would be nice for a wedding if it wasn't
 open to the street. Dustin is also photo bombing
the picture in the background. He had to go
 check out that fountain. 

Example of blurry shot.
 It's trippy and I like it.
I'm like a shooting star. 

Driving back from the rock shop that was closed every
day we were there(I was so bummed out).
 I loved the scenery more than anything. 

Another artsy shot called
 "Arielle thought she heard something
scary in the bushes". 

Here is one of the many hot springs set up
throughout the town. Sometimes people have their
feet soaking in them. They have a whole row
of "bath houses" which is like spa treatments
using the hot springs. I know everyone wanted
more pictures of the actual hot springs but
 I didn't get many. In this post from last
year, you can see a natural one. 

Is this not the prettiest place to park?

The following pics are from "The Gangster Museum of America".
This place was awesome and I knew I had to
go back this year. You got to watch videos with
 interviews from people who worked with and knew
all the big gangsters from the 20s-40s like
Al Capone for example. You learned about the
bootlegging and illegal gambling that was going on and
how there was a secret tunnel underground where we were
 that led across the street to the Arlington Hotel where
 all the gangsters stayed. You can even request
Al Capone's suite for a high price, I'm sure.
They even found remains of a bowling alley underground.
 You got to see antique slot machines and learn
about the local brothels. It was very interesting
and I highly recommend it if you ever go.
