A great get away.

We took a break this week and went to St. Louis. It's a halfway point for my son and daughter-in-law in Arkansas, so they drove about 5 hours and we drove about 5 hours. We had a great time. We did the transportion museum, the history museum, the arch, the city museum, Ikea and all kinds of fun things, stayed in an air Bnb and played board games, video games and yard games. We cooked and ate it seems almost continually. We added a new vacation member, my daughter's boyfriend, to the group and he fits in perfectly. It was a wonderful trip. It's those moments when we are all together that make all the effort of preparing and packing and traveling worth it.
