Checked out of the Clarksville Days Inn and drove to “the highlighted route.” Beth decided a good mid-day stop would be around the St. Louis arch. I began texting my sister Pam to see if she could get away from work for a bit to meet us.
Beth took the kids up in the arch for a view of the city while Bev and I met Pam and a couple of her work study students outside the entrance of the arch. We visited in the hot humid heat and shared Disney stories before they had to get back.
Our lunch stop on “the hill” at Rigazzi’s was very disappointing. I’m afraid our fabulous experience at Sal’s has forever set the standard by which we will judge all Italian cuisine—and Rigazzi’s just didn’t measure up.
After lunch, our Garmin had a little difficulty navigating us back out of town because of some unexpected road construction. By the time we found our way, we were all ready to just be out of the car for the day—so I made a phone call and got us a place for the night. Thanks Pam and Matt!!!! The kids watched TV, and we shared videos, pictures, and stories with our hostess.
Six more hours on the road tomorrow and we should be home.
