We spent the last week in Illinois and Missouri with my uncle. It was so odd crossing the stateline as I would normally cross the street, but St. Louis, MO and Illinois certainly provided us with some wonderful sights. We braved the arch despite the dizzying height and cramped "elevator", toured the fabulous and free St. Louis Zoo, visited Grafton and Alton, IL where the rivers meet, and last but certainly not least, watched the Cardinals play (and win!) the Reds. Oh, and as any good vacation provides, we are now the proud owners of a skinner wallet and tighter pants! Alfonso was a little eager to get his trusty watch back on California time and pulled the pin with a little too much umph. He's since discovered his watch isn't so trusty and will remain on Central time until further notice.
After a long weather related lay over in Colorado, I'm so glad to plant my feet on California soil. Alright, so maybe it's really brown berber carpet, but its gonna have to do. I'm tired!
