Roadtrippin'

From July 8-21, Alex, Adaleigh, Aubriella, and I went on a wonderful vacation. The best family vacation we've been on (not that we've been on one as a family of four, but still). It's definitely going to be difficult to top it because it was so fun, adventurous, and filled with awesome places. We did so many things that I can hardly remember all of them and it would take too much time to describe it all on this blog, so I shall share lots of pics and a few words...

St. Louis was fun. It was our first official stop (after the random one in Metropolis, IL to see Superman in the middle of the night). Highlights: Riding to the top of the Gateway Arch, the girls playing in the Spray Plaza fountains downtown, and yummy BBQ at Pappy's Smokehouse.

Next stop was Kansas City. We were actually there the day of the All-Star game, but didn't watch it. Crazy huh? Definitely crazy for Alex who becomes obsessed with baseball and the Braves every year around this time. Highlights: LegoLand, shopping, Lincoln Memorial, and buying fudge (vacation is never complete without fudge!).

We then traveled to a random, but lovely town... Lincoln, the capital of Nebraska. I really fell in love with this town. It had the small town feel that obviously I love, but also a little city that I love too. Anytime I find a good balance of the two, I fall in love. I honestly believe I'm a little bit city and lil bit country. Highlights: Pioneer Park, our lovely hotel room (more of like a condo) for the night, Sunken Gardens, eating at Runza (yes a fast food lunch was a highlight... not really the food, but we just had a lot of fun there).

I will update more later with the rest of the trip...
