Clarksville to Marshall ...16 hours!!

The kids begged for extra time in TN and for more Daddy time. We agreed with the stipulation that there would be no griping on a continuous 16 hr drive home the following day. I am proud to say that the kids stuck to their end of the bargain. One of the disappointments on the way home was that we didn't have time to stop by the St. Louis arch. And another was that I had to awaken Alex from his slumber so that he could view the arch. I must say, I've never curled up with a good roll of paper towels!

We'll have to make another trip that way, taking more time, to do some of the cool things like the St. Louis Arch Park and the Mark Twain stuff in Hannibal, Missouri.
