Meet me in St. Louis...

I'm back from St. Louis in one piece! We had a great trip to the "Show Me State" and got Caroline all settled into her new life there. Here are some pics from the past few days....

Getting ready to hit the road early Tuesday morning. Motto of the day...."Some people just aren't cut out for life on the road" -Lloyd Christmas

Lucy took the wheel for the first shift....I was a little nervous to ride shot gun, but Lucy reassured me that driving large vehicles was in her blood...

We just had to stop...

Trying to look tough....but I think I'm achieving more of a constipated look here than tough.

After 5 stops (maybe more....we stopped counting), we made it to St. Louis in a little under 12 hours. Everyone took there turn at driving the U-Haul....thank you Jesus for getting us there safely!

After working hard on unpacking all of Caroline's things, we treated ourselves to a Cardinals game on Wednesday evening. Lesson learned....never go to a Cardinals game without wearing red. Karen and I in front of Busch Stadium....

It was a beautiful night...

7th inning stretch....one, two, three strikes you're out at the old ball game!

Group shot leaving the game. We feel asleep that night watching Troop Beverly Hills...one of my all time favorites!

Lucy had to fly back to Dallas on Thursday evening for work, so we spent the day sighting in St. Louis. Our first stop...Lunch at Blueberry Hill. The fried ravioli was delicious!

After lunch we hit up the City Museum....this place is by far the most creative and interesting place I've ever seen. If you're ever in St. Louis, you must go...with kids or no kids!

Making our way through the tunnels...

Caroline was a champ....no tunnel was too small for this one!

Lucy has a thing for nasty, old gloves...it's really weird.

Hi, I'm Karen...

We'll keep our day jobs...

Born to entertain...at least that's what they think...

After the museum we visited The Cupcakery for an afternoon treat and drove by The Gateway Arch on the way to the airport to drop Lucy off...

On Friday, Karen and I ran a bunch of errands with Caroline and put the finishing touches on Carol's room. It really turned out cute!

On Friday night, we ate St. Louis style pizza at Rigazzi's on "The Hill" and had dessert at Ted Drewes Frozen Custard. It was delicious...a perfect way to end our time in St. Louis! After a few tears this morning, Karen and I flew back to Dallas and left our dear Carol in St. Louis to start this exciting new chapter in her life. We are so proud of you Caroline!!!! We can't wait to "meet you in St. Louis" again soon! WE LOVE YOU!!!!!
