The Road to St. Louis

The trip to St. Louis was long (the drive to Hot Springs was also long!). The kids were good - little girl was very tired of sitting in her car seat at one point so we pulled over. The weather was nice. We drove to St. Louis on a Wednesday, so the 18-wheelers were plentiful. At one point close to Memphis I counted 15 in one lane. That number does not include the 5 that were in front of us.

Some of you will know the importance of the Cape Girardeau sign. I was really tempted to pull off and take the Rush tour, but after being in the car 7 hours another 1 1/2 seemed excessive. We made it to St. Louis before dark - thanks to Jewels' trusty Nuvi 650.
