I am resurrecting the Photo Blog, and am going to finish up our run through the Journey 2008.
After the Journey is complete we will move on to more photo fun.
Day 11 begins early on an overcast morning on the roads of Iowa surrounded by farm land.
Morgan was having fun searching for her home on the range.
Time for a new state as we head into Illinois for a short visit and some food.
Just across the Mississippi River in Quincy, IL it is time for some Maid Rite.
More good food and some delicious pie.
Cruising the Great River Road in Illinois...
Overlooking the Mississippi River as it runs between Illinois and Missouri.
Morgan wants to build a house right here, overlooking the Great Mississippi.
More of the Great River Road
On the back roads we passed Ralls County Courthouse in the town of New London, MO built in 1858.
Heading into St. Louis for the night.
Here is the Gateway Arch as we head into Downtown to our hotel and to a ballgame.
At Busch Stadium watching the Cardinals take on the Pirates.
More of Busch Stadium with the Gateway Arch in the background.
The Cardinals lost 5-4 but we had a great time experiencing a ball game at a new stadium.

FYI, the bathrooms at Busch Stadium double as tornado shelters, just in case you are ever there when a tornado hits, now you know.
We ended the night the way a lot of other Cardinal fans did, easing the pain of the loss with some Ted Drewes Frozen Custard. Great stuff after a long fun day, and with so many different flavors and toppings to choose from it was hard to make up our minds.
There is day 11. We added Illinois and Missouri to mix to bring the total to 15 states with only 4 new ones to go.
Tomorrow more of St. Louis, more of Missouri, and of course more good food.

So, I read the other blog first and was REALLY confused about where your children were and the fact that you had gone to Missouri.....but now I understand.
I SO want to live in that picture. So stinking pretty. Also, I remember being super tired that day. I loved Maid Rite. They had good pie, but they were out of the vinegar pie and that's what I really wanted to try. Just going to have to go back. The b-ball game was fun but I had a horrible hot dog there, fact. Oh well. Life on the road I guess. :)
