5/25/09-5/28/09 Some of Arkansas

welcome to Arkansas

how the town got its name

The Original

The springs

We thought we'd look around some cemeteries looking for some of my family.
We didn't find anyone, but we found some interesting graves.

one of the cemeteries

a very cool garage that we saw

We spent a few days with some friends that use to live in MT-

Steven & Tucker
playing pickup sticks

Tucker showing us how to ripstick

Steven giving it a whirl

a wrestling match....
Steven has pictures just like this from a few years ago...
I don't think they wore him out so bad then! :)

The little family that we spent a few days with!

Some of the boys friends had a pet deer. It was SOO tiny!

We went 'up' to Mt Magazine

At the State Park

The view from the top of Arkansas

5/24/09 - 5/25/09 Sights in Missouri

A beautiful sunset on on Sunday evening

Wow!

Where we spent the night Sunday night

our campsite

'If you ain't got it you don't need it' haha
Since ? Until ?

This street sign says 'normal'

and this one is Rural

a common sight in MO

This town is called Licking! I think it was one of our favorite town names! :)

A road sign about the 'Licking Church'

We were so close to Success we thought we better check it out!!

And, the drive was beautiful on the way to Success!

Tada, Success. It was kind of a let down.
We were in 'Misery' and we drove out of our way to find Success.

The cute little post office.
We mailed some of Steven's graduation thank you's from here. We thought that it was appropriate to mail them from Success. :)

5/24/09 Driving across Iowa

A cool old building

I like how my yarn and needles are reflected in the glass

American flags... One of my favorite sites!
This was in some little town that advertised having a 'great downtown' so we thought we'd drive through and check it out.
All the flags were flying for Memorial day which was the next day.

I love the contrast of all the wedding dresses to the old brick building

5/24/09 IA state line
