Ken and Karen’s travel adventures
Sunday: This was a long 500 mile day, hitting three states, and going through Topeka, Kansas City, and St Louis. I could definitely see on the map and looking out the window that we were leaving the brown upper plains and entering the green heartland of the country.
9/19/18 Wednesday: Today I had on our agenda to go to St Louis. We had a relaxed morning, with French toast for breakfast. Around noon, we took off for an adventure in the city. I planned a driving route that would take us right to a reasonably priced parking lot from which we could easily walk to the Gateway Arch. It worked perfectly.
9/18/18 Tuesday: We’ve never been to Missouri before, until today. It’s just across the Mississippi River from here. State #14 for this trip! (And I think it is state #39 in our overall lifetime adventures.)
We rented a car from Enterprise for a couple of days to see the sights. We decided that it’s probably in our best interest to stay here at Alton Marina until Friday. The hot weather would be miserable without air conditioning. Since our first two nights after we leave here will be without power, we’re going to wait for a day that will be less than 90 degreees. With four days to hang out, a car will let us go see St Louis and other stuff. Marie on Compass Rose highly recommended that we go see St Charles – it has a great historic old town. So that was our destination for today, and we invited Alan & Sherry from SeaJamm to join us. Read more
