The clouds may be extra pretty and allow you to take a ton of pictures!
For some reason, a sign may tease you in the middle of a dry county with someone sipping whiskey/moonshine
Your room may be super small, with barely enough room to walk in.
Your husband may just not be able to fit his 6 foot 3 inches body on the bed and may hang off.
This bed may also have a saggy mattress that forces you to sleep practically on top of each other.
The five star mountain resort may not have the amenities that a one star hotel may have.
You may be able to see outside through the cracks in your cabin wall.
You may also have to sweep the dirt off your bed, have missing drawer handles, not have the promised cable tv and the air conditioner goes out.
When the air conditioner goes out and it's 11 o'clock at night and your husband tells you it is up to you as to whether or not you get a hotel room and spend more money, spend the extra money because you may end up sleeping in your car otherwise (This wasn't fun).
The family you haven't seen in 10 years? Yeah, they may force you to drive across a swinging bridge.
The cousin you haven't seen since he was a baby (the one on the left in the grey shirt) will probably be a douche bag.
His sister may also be a know it all.
Turns out, the cousins you talk to all the time probably ARE the best.
Your mom and her boyfriend may get into one of their famous fights.
All the baggage will come out.
Your camera may get blurry because the settings mess up right when you are taking family pics with your great grandmother's ashes.
Your brother may not listen to you and climb into a waterfall, even after you tell him not to.
Your husband may just be the greatest man on earth for putting up with rude family members, family talking bad about him, horrible living conditions and having to settle arguments between said family members. He definitely put up with way more than most men would have! Love you honey!

This is why I don't go to family reunions! Arkansas is scary. I won't lie, I grew up there and its always a bit off putting.
I'm sorry it was a stressful weekend! There truly are some nice parts of Arkansas. Like Eureka Springs, or uhhh...Crystal Bridges...
Hope this week improves!
I agree with Saimaeve..there are nice parts, but I'm sorry you had a rough trip. At least you have a fantastic husband who will put up with all of it because he loves you!
Here's hoping you have a great week!
I could have done a post like that for my family reunion from last month! ha! too funny! Have a great week!
Oh my gosh, I feel for you! I do! I feel this way when we go see my in laws.
And that cousin looks like a dbag!
Oh ugh! Sorry to hear you had a rough family vacation. Ours is in a few weeks, and I hope it will be slightly more pleasant - hope. Glad you lived to tell the tale though! It, at least, made for an amusing blog post, right?! (Just trying to look on the bright side ;-))
Hahaha, I've never been to Arkansas!
And... I think every family has their drama, it's true!
Aren't family reunions fun?
Oh, wow! That bridge looks kind of scary and cool at the same time!
That's hilarious! I would never get my disfunctional family together at one time on purpose!! It would be a disaster!
Poor thing! Well at least you survived and never have to do it again.....
I had to laugh at the pic of everyone with the ashes. The guy in front is grabbing himself, lol!
