Midwest

April 3 - Awoke in the suburbs of St. Louis and headed for the Gateway Arch. Tickets were sold out until noon so we were unable to take the Journey to the Top tour as Minneapolis was a good 10 hours away.  Have been on the road for a total of 3, 868 miles and 73 hours.  Time has its way of passing.  Joel's aunt once told me, the days are long but the weeks are quick.  I tend to reflect on this statement a lot, especially during the past 12 days.  Yes, there were times that the road seemed to go on forever, without a hotel bed in sight. But how quickly time does pass.  It is hard to believe that March 22nd at 4:04pm we left for our family road trip.  There are have been some tears, and stressful moments. But mostly big smiles, hugs and memories that will forever stay with us.
