Spring Break Week is a good time to go on a Road Trip,
especially if there’s snow on the ground at home.
We made plans to travel to someplace warm.
Lizzie and Great Grandma enjoy each other’s company
when we are away from home, so we pack all of her necessary belongings
and get her settled in at GMa’s house.
We started out early the next morning.
First stop, Hubby needs his Diet Coke with Ice
and I ordered a Coffee.
Our main mission was to get
as far down the road as possible.
Our only stop was in Sioux City for lunch.
Can you guess where we ate?
After an 11 hour travel day, we landed in Independence, MO.
A comfy bed, a little WiFi, a shower,
and Continental Breakfast fulfilled all of our needs.
The Gateway Arch.
We had not been here, and it was quite impressive.
It is a family friendly place to stop while traveling.
There are tours of the Historical Courthouse…
…And nearby Cathedral.
One can purchase tickets to ride a tram up
inside the Arch and look out the windows
at the top for a spectacular view.
It was a warm, breezy day.
We enjoyed our time there, but needed
to have a little lunch and get moving again.
We were only about halfway
to our final destination.
Take care,
~Natalie
