So the Meyers are travelling again. We have been anticipating this trip for weeks (or months). The car has been packed for 3 days, the bikes are tied securely to the back of the little Hyundai, and Chris and I have mapped the route on-line, on paper and on GPS. Nothing can stop us now!
Our day began at the crack of dawn. We were up, gathering last minute items, checking the packing list and securing the house for our 9 day adventure to South Carolina and back. It was good we bought the largest cooler--all the wonderful food for camping takes up lots of space.
The drive to St. Louis was non-eventful until 10 minutes from our destination. The sky grew black and the large raindrops began splattering the windshield, then the heavens let loose. There was hail, tree branches and rain (like being in a carwash). Luckily it lasted for the last 10 minutes before we came to Kendra, Karl and June's house in Clayton, Missouri.
We are so excited to see the Fays, especially baby June. We ate at the Schlafly Bottleworks--a great local brewery and eatery. We enjoyed the beautiful St Louis weather after the storm. Then it was a wonderful evening of strolling about around the Lutheran seminary.
June is the highlight of the day. She is a beautiful, easy-tempered 4-month-old with gorgeous curly eyelashes. It is so fun to see Kendra and Karl enjoy their family. We discovered that Kendra is the same age that I was when I first got to know her (she was 7). Wow--such history.
Tomorrow it's the Great Smoky Mountains.
