Day 7, All day on the bus :)

Today was travelled a LONG way! Norm keeps us entertained though and we have a great bus driver. We stop about every 2 hours for "comfort" breaks. And everyone on the bus are kind of like family now! The majority of the people on our tour are retired. There are 4 girls about our age that are single and about 6 teenagers, so we are right in the middle of everyone. There are such great people though and we have really enjoyed spending this time with them!

We finally made it to St. Louis! Little did we know that there was actually LDS history here! About 22,000 Latter-day Saints past through St. Louis on their way west. Joseph made the trip between Independence and Kirtland 4 times. Considering it took us about 9 1/2 hours on a bus, that was a lot of travelling in Joseph's time! St. Louis is the beginning of the Boonelick trail.

This is a picture of us by the St. Louis Arch.

Lucky for us we just happened to be staying about a block away from Busch Stadium where the Cardinals play baseball... and there was a game last night!! We were supposed to go on a riverboat ride and dinner on the Mississippi but because it has risen so much they aren't allowing any tours on the river. So Norm took us all to dinner on the 28th floor of a rotating restaurant, then we went to the game! We made it there by the 3rd inning and had a great time.
