It has been a couple of days since my last post, largely due to internet and Google blogger issues. Trio catch you up on where we've been, we spent a night with family friends, John and Carmen and their 2 great boys in St. Joseph, Illinois. We left there Monday morning and went to Springfield to see Abe Lincoln's home, and then on to St. Louis, Missouri. We took a ride in the arch and stayed near the waterfront area, right on the Mississippi river. This morning we left in rainy weather but were able to get ahead of the storm and are roughly in mid-Kansas on I-70. Temperatures stayed at a very comfortable 85 once the sun came out. Last year we came through Kansas when it was over 100 degrees!

Sitting on Abe's front steps
Lincoln's tomb
It is a beautiful tomb
Inside the tomb
The St. Louis Arch!!
Sample car- it seats 5 adults!
Cleve sitting inside- it is a tight squeeze!
View from the top- looking directly down
At the peak- 630 feet!
That is all for now- we should be in Colorado tomorrow!
