…spent yesterday exploring my homestate and town…its is so cool to revisit the same spots i enjoyed as a kid and see them through my adult eyes, and even cooler yet is seeing them through my daughters eyes…this was my daughters first experience with thunderstorms that roll in from seemingly nowhere and  dipping her  toes in ‘scary dirty’ lakes…we also stopped along the road and took advantage of buying fresh fruit, a homemade pie and some goodies for the road…the simple things of summer!!

…cross country road trip…just me and my daughter…sweet!! i have made this trip many many many times with my family, but this is the first time to make it solo (meaning i am the only driver..oye!!)…to break it up we stopped in St Louis yesterday to visit the ARCH…it was pretty cool…one more thing off my life list! check!!
