Family Vacation!

Last week we enjoyed a wonderful vacation through Illinois ultimately heading to Clarksville Missouri. We had such a wonderful time and were so blessed to do many fun things and create many family memories. On our way there and back we made a stop at Abraham Lincoln's home in Springfield and in New Salem. We were also able to check out a "traveling trunk" that held many fun items that helped us learn more about Abraham Lincoln.

We were also able to make a visit to a wonderful Children's Museum in St. Louis called "The Magic House". If you are ever in St. Louis and have children, you have to visit! We spent 6 straight hours there and I think we could have spent another whole day there. We also visited the Gateway Arch in St. Louis. Here are just a few of the pictures that capture the fun we had!

Great pictures! Can you post pics on site so I can download them to CostCo to print?
Chris did you remember some of those sites from our trip 20 years ago?

Oh! I love the pictures! Especially the one of you and Chris as Lincoln and Mrs. Lincoln, the backseat with three car seats and the last picture of the girls. You have a beautiful family!
