Go, See, Do, Experience!
Travel Day to Illinois to see friends. We meet them back in 2024 when we wintered (Jan-Feb) all around Florida. They are so fun, sweet, and love games. They, along with two other friends, and us would play games most every night in the game room at the campground. Wonderful times and memories. Our friends... Continue Reading →
Kevin had said he wanted to go to the Gateway Arch National Park. I remember it from years ago but we found out it has changed. We headed to downtown St Louis. We saw quite a few parking garages with signs saying that is where parking is for the Arch. However, our truck is long... Continue Reading →
On the way home (footnoted 1) from a 4 hour drive to our sister-in-law’s birthday party, in Missouri, we drove along Hwy 36 over the Mississippi River to the Illinois side and down south along the river. At Hamburg, right along the river, we could see where it flooded the other day when we were... Continue Reading →
We headed to the St Louis, Missouri area. Why? What are our plans through this September? We are following the LEWIS & CLARK TRAIL, the Corps of Discovery! Now, we have been along parts of it before and have even been in Oregon where they met the Pacific Ocean (and we visited the fort and... Continue Reading →
We spent some time one evening fulfilling photo requests for Find A Grave (footnote 1) at Missouri Veterans Cemetery, a National Cemetery, in Springfield, Missouri. On the way up there we saw a sign for Lambert’s Cafe, “Home of the Throwed Rolls.” All the times Kevin has been down here in the Ozarks and visiting... Continue Reading →
When you hear the name Branson, Missouri, what do you think of? For us it is Silver Dollar City. This 1800s theme park is our favorite. Kevin grew up coming here most every year and he and I came here quite a bit when we lived in Missouri. Later we still would make it here... Continue Reading →
Travel Day: The drive north out of Little Rock, Arkansas, was only on the freeway for a short time and then highway 65. This road goes through small towns and we quite enjoyed it. Some places have tight and narrow roads with no shoulder, though. There are places where the trees open up into meadows,... Continue Reading →
William J Clinton Presidential Library and Museum is in downtown Little Rock, Arkansas, and it was built there to help the economy in that area. Parking is free and tickets are $12.00 each. Like other similar places, lots of docents around to greet, inform, and direct. When told about the video, we asked if it... Continue Reading →
We got to my uncle and aunt’s house around 9:30 a.m. for another day of adventure. They drove us in their car to downtown Dallas to The 6th Floor Museum. I had been here with my family when I was young. It is the Texas School Book Depository, where Lee Harvey Oswald shot President John... Continue Reading →
George W Bush Presidential Center is on Southern Methodist University campus in Dallas, Texas. Lots of parking spaces since we were there about 1/2 hour after it opened. The building is on ground level with two big squares on each side with a center hall that has a ceiling that is second story tall and... Continue Reading →
