Meet Me in St. Louis

4:15 Central 2:15 AZ

St. Louis is a beautiful city! With the Gateway Arch stretching above everything and the Mississippi River flowing swiftly between Illinois and Missouri, I think that it is amazing! We wanted to go up in the arch. (Umm, actually, my family wanted to go, I didn’t want to have anything to do with going up that high.)Anyway, there was too long of a wait to get up there, so it didn’t work out. But, we did get to go into the museums and see a quick movie about the making of the arch. I thought that it was pretty cool.


Now we have just crossed into Illinois, and we have about four hours of driving to go. We are going through Springfield, so that will be fun. I really like going to the capitals of states…I don’t know why. Anyway, there are cornfields EVERYWHERE! (haha, kind of like the cows the other day) They are stretching from the road to a barn and a silo somewhere, and then they’ll keep going past the barn. It’s soo cool. And, where there aren’t barns and cornfields there are thick bursts of trees! I’ll post pictures eventually. (You know, you can probably tell that I’m from AZ and that I’ve never really been in the real country or lived out of the state by how excited I am by things that probably seem real miniscule.)


So we got off from Springfield, MO today around 10:00 (CST, you can figure out AZ time) and then I slept for nearly two hours on the ground of the car! Haha, it was wonderful! But, then Christian woke me up by pulling the cell phone from my pocket…and then he was really hyper and continued to bug me and Trenton. Ohh man, I’m way happy that this car ride is almost over!


Well, that’s all for now!

<3!!

P.S. My birthday is in 8 days!!!
