So we opted to go camping a few nights (We're camping in the national parks when we stay there, so we already have all the gear) and it's doing a wonder in keeping expenses down. (A $40 campsite vs a $200 hotel room, it works), but the first night it was just HOT. Felt like a sauna.We didn't realize this in the van because we had the AC on, but once we got there and opened it up we realized how humid it was.
Nobody slept in the sleeping bags, we were all on top of them.
Sunday
Casey Illinois is a small town with the worlds largest rocking chair. And pencil. And barber pole, golf tee, and mailbox, among others. You could fit a lot of people inside that mailbox - and it's a functioning mailbox, too.
The Gateway Arch in St Louis was fun the first time, but the first time was 10 years ago. Only my oldest went up, and they were doing lots of landscaping so it was dirt fields. This time we all went up, and I literally got a picture of my van parked nearby at the stadium.
Monday
Saw all the church history sites in MO. The buildings were all closed, but the ones that were just open areas were still very nice. Drove a lot. I mean a lot. Getting tired of driving.
But there is still more driving. It's my 19th wedding anniversary and we spent the day driving.
