Missouri Loves Company

June 1st, 2006

Thanks for the title Nancy, it is definitely appropriate for one of our final stops of the trip. Besides, it’s your family that we’re visiting. I’ll make it quick because we are pressing on today. If all works out, we may get to Nashville tonight..make the day to Atlanta a bit easier. We made some good time from Frisco. “Lori” tried to take us down yet another dirt road. This time we hadn’t gone off a main route for too long, so we doubled back. We left Frisco about 8:00, and started to realize that we’d hit Jefferson City right about 5:00. My sister-in-law’s family lives there, and it’ll be a short hike to St. Louis tomorrow morning, so that will help. Liz and Gary were kind enough to offer their home to us, and we enjoyed visiting with them. Nancy’s Dad, Bud, took a liking to Heidi last year when she visited for Nancy’s Bridal Shower, so we wanted to get over and see him while we were here. It started as a lunch visit tomorrow, then to breakfast, but ultimately decided on getting pizza and hanging out tonight. Actually makes the most sense, since it gives us the time we need to do St. Louis tomorrow. We had a great time! We took over pizzas, grabbed a few beers, and just hung out. John, his wife Janine, and their girls stopped by. Kathy Jo, Jenny, Jill, and even Brandon made an appearance. They all seemed to bring friends with them, so it seemed like their were a TON of people hanging out. Very cool..but we didn’t expect anything less from the Wheeler clan. We thank your entire family for their hospitality! Next stop..The Gateway Arch and the Anheuser Busch Brewery Tour! :-)
