To Grandmother's House We Go: Part 5

Kansas to Kentucky

We got off to another good start for another amazingly fun day of driving. We went through a few more states today but had less luck getting pictures of the signs. The first one was pretty understandable... I was driving and we were going through St. Louis trying to stay on the correct freeway. Which was freakishly difficult because there were about five freeways merging together in four lanes and at first I had to be in the left hand lane and then the right and then the middle and then the left again and then I had a choice, the middle or the left and then it was the right again until the freeways split off and I was on the 64. Man that was insane. Of course, it was during all this fun confusion that they had the "Welcome to Missouri" sign. Oh well... Such is life.

I did get a picture of the sign for Hannibal, Missouri. Mommy and I said hi to Colonel Potter as we passed by.

Also while going through St. Louis we saw the Arch of the America's (or something like that). It was pretty cool.


Right next to the arches from our view was a very interesting old building that
ended up being a Sheraton.

And another building behind that that looked like it belonged in a Batman movie.

And the Mississippi River!

And then there was Illinois. Remember, when you're in Illinois, the alcohol limit is .08...

And not to long after that there was Indiana!

And this was what I got out of Kentucky...

Hey, give me a break! It was dark and we didn't know when the sign was coming up...

Now Mommy and I are sitting in a hotel in Lexington, Kentucky. Tomorrow we're off to Winchester, Virginia and then to Grandmama's! Right now it's 12:10am in Kentucky so I think it's time for bed.

Tune in tomorrow. Same bat time, same bat channel!
