We are heading home to Florida from Chicago where my daughter was married last weekend. Because we have no reason to be home at any specific time, we decided to avoid the interstates and drive down the Great River Road which parallels the Mississippi River from the Quad Cities in Iowa to New Orleans. We are so glad we chose to do this. Yesterday we drove across northern Illinois into Iowa. Today we visited Hannibal, Mo and all the Mark Twain sites, then drove down to St. Louis where we'll spend a couple of days. My hub has never been here and wants to go to the top of the Arch, even if it means getting into something that resembles a front loading washing machine to ride up there.....and back down.
It's amazing how much we miss when we stay on the interstates and speed past the world. I had forgotten how genuinely nice the Midwesterners are.
