We finally made it out of the east coast. It took a few days longer than I had expected, and we gained an unexpected member on our trip. But here we are. Our first real stop.
We checked out of our hotel on Tuesday and were able to get on the road by early afternoon. We made western Pennsylvania by the end of the day and spent the night in a terrible hotel. I’m going to make sure we get nicer places going forward.
Our plans are to stay here for a few day and early next week head to Colorado for a few days in the mountains before returning east. This morning the three of us went to the Missouri Botanical Garden and then to The Hill to get lunch before returning to Bill’s house to rest for a few hours. Tomorrow we hope to get to the zoo. Not sure plans for the weekend yet, though the kids will probably go to the Reconnaissance Festival on Sunday and I’ll paint Bill’s porch trim while they are gone..
