Wednesday we arrived back home from a nice trip out of town. I will go back to my normal work schedule on Thursday. Here is a rundown of the fun stuff we have done so far.
First, we went to the Museum of Transportation. The boys love this place because it has the largest exhibit of trains in the United States and maybe the world. Some steam trains there are around 140 years old.
Next we went to Columbia Missouri to have a birthday lunch with my mom and all my siblings. We ate at a restaurant that overlooks the Missouri River. From there we drove to mom and dad’s farm and helped do some cattle work and separated the calves from the mothers for weaning. We also needed to help mom and dad get rid of some apple pie.
Sunday night we went to the Lake of the Ozarks and stayed at the Hotel at the Cross Point Retreat Center. We fished and when that did not go so well, so we put on different clothing and went swimming in the lake. It was great to see the kids having so much fun. Any hotel visit is an adventure to our kids right now.
Monday we toured the Missouri State capital building, the governor’s gardens, and the landing at the river front. We ate lunch at the park and played on the playground. Then we checked into a hotel with a pool a hot tub for several hours of swimming with the kids. Late Monday evening we at out at Arris’s Pizza this is an amazing Greek Pizzaria across the street from the capital building. The kids ate a ton of food! Then we went back to the hotel and everybody jumped in bed with candy from the vending machine and we watched ice skating.
Tuesday we woke up late and at a great breakfast. Then we went to the Runge Nature Center and looked at exhibits of animals and plants. Then we hiked a trail and watched some wildlife. We visited Central Dairy, the best place in the world for ice-cream and cherry Cokes! We drove home and tomorrow we are going into St. Louis for the day.
