St. Joseph, MO


Made it from Evansville, IN, to St. Joseph, MO, today. Along the way, we stopped at the Gateway Arch on our way west. (It seemed appropriate.) Took in the museum and had a picnic lunch, but didn't actually go up in the arch. Got turned around trying to get out of town (also a bit appropriate if you're at all aware of family lore having to deal with navigation confusion in that part of the world).

New low price for gas today: $3.85!

I continue to be impressed with what seems to be a new development in roadside distractions: Billboard-sized TV screens (ads in motion, wow).

My sister-in-law, Martha, put on a great spread for us tonight. We felt very welcome. We're looking forward for the extended visit on the way back east. Quite the fun family!
