What a woman will do...

First of all, you have to understand that my friend Sheila and I have decided that a bowl of cold cereal qualifies as a home cooked meal....so, this morning, I decided that is what I wanted for breakfast. We stopped at the gas station on the way out of town to get my milk, the cereal was already accessible as well as were the paperbowls and I thought the spoons were too..but no such luck. I did not give up though. I pretty much drank/ate my cereal out of the bowl! That is how much I wanted cereal!

So, today, we were in 5 states! The most in one day on this trip. We started in Cincinnati, OH but quickly went into Kentucky, where we drove to Louiseville, home of the Louiseville Slugger Museum and Factory. It was so cool to see bats being made. We then headed to St. Louis, MO, via Indiana and Illinois. While there, we went up in the Arch...YES, you can get to the top! You ride in these really small tram cars (doors are only 4' 8" tall!). They tell you that it is a combination of Amusement Park Ride, Train and elevator and they are not kidding. The top of the arch is 630' high! It was really cool though. Both of these events were not planned prior to our leaving on this trip, it was fun to be so spontaneous.

We then went back into IL and drove 100 miles north to Springfield, which is where we are for now.

That is all for now...Mari is looking to do some research for tomorrow's day....Lincoln Library/Museum and a whole lot more.
