We arrived in Missouri at about 1:30 yesterday afternoon (at the time we thought it was 2:30 and it wasn't until about 7:30 that night that we realized we were now in the central time zone.) The drive was 892 miles and took us a little over 14 hours. Besides a 20 minute stop for a sit down breakfast at Kentucky's "Big Boy" restaurant the only other times we stopped were for the 3 gas fills ups we needed.
We're staying with Jonathan's cousins Charan and Christa and their two kids Micah and Marissah. Yesterday was Marissah's ninth birthday so last night we got to celebrate her special day with a party at her grandmother's house. It was a great night relaxing with their family and getting to see Marissah's face when she opened her new trampoline and pink, sparkly bike. The trampoline was an especially big treat because her old one was destroyed by a tree during the big storms last week. And the bratwurst, bean salad and grilled corn were such a nice treat after our lunch of pretzels!
Today we're off to see the Gateway Arch and the Anheuser-Busch Factory!
