Missouri

We're home from Missouri! We had a great time, but it feels good to be home. Audrey did great with the drive and adjusting to new places.

We stopped in St. Louis on the way to Reeds Spring. We were able to go to the St. Louis zoo and the arch, which was fun. I'm not afraid of heights, but I didn't care for the noises that could be heard on the ride up the arch. Our condo is Reeds Spring was awesome. It was 10 minutes from Branson, and had a splash park we could walk to that Audrey just loved. I was sad to leave there.

We stayed the last 2 nights in Springfield. No Brad Pitt sightings (he grew up there and has family that still lives there). I guess he visits quite often. The hotel we stayed at the last 2 nights was not the greatest. Dan purposely didn't tell me that he spotted a foot long earthworm until AFTER we left. Yuck!

For those of you who don't know, we went to Missouri for Dan's brother's wedding. The rehearsal dinner was at a farm where they grow their own ingredients in their recipes. The food was amazing and the atmosphere was breathtaking. The wedding was gorgeous. From the daisy wreaths and floral arrangements to the string quartet and amazing vocalists/instrumentalists, everything was perfect.

The reception was at a beautiful country club. They had a live band, which was so much fun, babysitting (yeah!), an ice sculpture, strawberry shortcake bar, gorgeous floral centerpieces, a rolls royce to transport them to their bed and breakfast, and so much more. I could go on and on. It was unbelievable.

We made it home yesterday, and I'm ready for some rest and relaxation.
