Stop! Don’t break the law during your fun family vacations!

There’s no denying it – outlandish laws are everywhere. No state is immune from archaic rules and regulations, and some can be considered valid even if they don’t make much sense. Since you don’t want to break the law while enjoying “rest and relaxation” at your next family vacation spot, we’ll let you know about some of the funniest (and weirdest) of these strange laws.

No Wrasslin ‘Bear Here!

Heading to Alabama as your next family vacation destination? Next, make sure you’ve got your appetite for bear wrestling in check, because it’s banned in the state.

If you oppose the system and try to drag Smokey to the ground outside of one of Alabama’s many resorts, you will be slapped with a lawsuit claiming that he has been involved in the illegal exploitation of bears.

Rent the car … just don’t spit out the window

Car and bus rentals are fine in Marietta, Georgia, and they could make your fun Georgia family vacation that much easier.

However, make sure no one in your vehicle decides to spit out the window as you take in the beautiful scenery on the way to your Georgia accommodation, as you could be fined. (FYI: If you need to spit, rent a van. The law does not appear to cover such vehicles.)

Children for sale? Not here!

Sure, your kids can get on your nerves during your family beach vacation, but that’s no reason to sell them. Also, in Florida, trying to get money for your offspring is strictly illegal.

You would not dare!

Condos in Delaware your dream? Once there, don’t you dare marry two people. The couple can request an annulment if their defiance was the main impetus for their vows.

Don’t bring the wrong kind of “trunk”!

If Florida is your preferred family vacation destination, it is best to leave your pet elephant at home. However, if you decide to take it with you, be careful not to tie it to a parking meter unless you are willing to pay for your “stay” at the parking spot as if it were a car.

Braying bath time

Maybe you’re not the type to have an elephant … maybe you’re a donkey lover. Just have an alternate plan to wash your braying buddy if you stay in Georgia. There it is forbidden to wash the four-legged friend in a bathtub.

Under the boardwalk? Don’t get naked!

Rehoboth Beach is a popular family vacation spot, but if you’re there, don’t change your clothes under the boardwalk. Although it may seem like a natural decision, it is a big no-no. In fact, you are not even supposed to remove your bathing suit in a public restroom. Instead, do it in your hotel room.

Domino? Not today!

It’s Sunday … and you want to play a game of dominoes while you stay at your Alabama resort. But stop before you open that game board. This day of the week does not have dominoes. (Try ludo instead.)

Bearded and strapless? You may have problems!

Guys, as pretty as your strapless evening dresses are, it’s illegal to wear them in public in Florida. Parade through all the rooms in your Florida condo if you wish; just don’t let those beaded hotties show up in a public forum.

I scream, you scream … but today we can’t carry the cone in our pockets

Finally, one state really takes the cake (and ice cream too) for the craziest law on the books. At Peach State, it’s perfect to carry an ice cream cone in your back pocket Monday through Saturday; But don’t try it on the Sabbath. That is against the law.

Consequently, if you’re dying for a fresh treat while lounging on a Sunday at your Florida lodging, it’s probably wise to indulge in a fruity popsicle just to cut down on the temptation. Alternatively, you can always wear pants without pockets, thus eliminating the opportunities for such creamy “criminal” behavior.
