Family Vacation!!! The One Where They Continue Celebrating`25 Years and Amy's Bday! Day 5

We woke up this morning in Fort Smith, Arkansas to sun! We didn't have any plans in Fort Smith, it was just a good stopping point for our travels. 
Our point of interest today was the Museum of the Red River in Idabel, Oklahoma. On our way, we drove through the Ouachita Mountains. The drive was gorgeous!
The Museum of the Red River did not disappoint. Our main goal was to see the Acrocanthosaurus, but we enjoyed the other exhibits of art and artifacts as well. 
We initially thought we might drive the 20 minutes over the border to Texas, but decided to skip Texas until next time and headed back north to Murfreesboro, Arkansas. 

Today's state count: 2 Arkansas- Oklahoma
Trip State Count 6: Michigan-Wisconsin-Illinois- Missouri-Arkansas-Oklahoma-Arkansas

We booked this "extra day" as a buffer to make sure we made it here in time if there were any travel snaffoos. Luckily, we mad eit here on time with no issues!  Then we made our way into the city to the Pan Pacific Hotel.  Our view here is a little bit different ;). Our conference will kick off here tomorrow before we board the ship. We are on the 20th floor and the view is gorgeous!  We spent the afternoon wandering around in Vancouver. We found an art museum, and a comic book/ anime store!  Our hotel is amazing and right on the water....  We took a late afternoon rest at the hotel and went venturing out on the pier before dinner.  (the rooftop pool area on level 8 of our hotel.
