Tiny notes

Travel with my three girls: surprisingly good. They are typically heck on wheels but have always traveled well. I borrowed some books on CD from the library before We left and they (and I) are enjoying them. They entertain themselves very well too.

Humidity: Awful!!! Claustrophobic!!!

The effects of humidity on the countryside: Fantastically beautiful--green fields, billowing deciduous trees everywhere, grass in front yards and everywhere else without thought.

Nauvoo, Illinois: A neat old town with deep meaning and history for LDS Church members and pretty interesting for non-LDS Church members as well. Great interactive displays of pioneer life in the 1840s, historical homes, rides, and shows, We loved The Nauvoo Pageant.

Seeing old friends: It was wonderful to see Ann and family and to see Wayne and family. I've been blessed beyond measure by wonderful friends over the years.

Dh: Delightful to have dh fly in to St. Louis to keep us company and to take on the driving and most of the pop up trailer set up. REALLY nice for me.

Oceans of Fun in Kansas City: Tidy, well-maintained, and, well, oceans of fun.

Sunburn: Ouch. I wish the sunscreen had worked as expected, but happy 90 percent of the burns were on the adults, not the girls.

Tune in the the update of the next few days.
