Mike got selected for a conference at Scott AFB, Illinois. The spouses were invited all expenses paid. Luckily, Mike's parents were visiting us and offered to watch the kids while we took off. They're the best! They even watched the kids part time last week while I was at girls camp.We arrived to our destination last night (Sunday) around 8pm. We woke up bright and early around 5:30 and began our day by watching a thunderstorm. We showered and headed out to...
Somewhere we haven't eaten at in years! We were not disappointed, they always feed us well. Maddi, I hope you aren't too mad that we ate at Cracker barrel... hee hee!
Feeling quite tired from our early wake up, we stopped into QT.
No trip to the states is complete without a daily trip to either of these stores. Sometimes twice in one day. :-)
We then drove into St. Louis to walk around the river front and take pictures of the arch.
The Temple is closed on Monday's but it's our only free day before the conference begins. So, we headed over to take pictures of the beautiful grounds. I wish I could grow flowers like they do.
That's how our day has gone so far. We have dinner in about 30 minutes then off to bed. Our day begins bright and early in the morning with classes that we'll both be in. I hope I don't fall asleep.
I have to say, that I sure love this man! HE is the best friend any girl could ask for. I am thankful that we have this week to laugh and smile with eachother. More updates to follow......
