We left Philadelphia early and headed to Greenville, SC. Hit a bit of traffic around Roanoke, VA. Both John and I shared the driving. Was good to finally get back to John's place after a long day of driving. |

Today was an absolutely awful day of driving. It started out with rain, and more rain, and even more rain. Made it to St. Louis with wipers going the entire way. Continued on to Kansas City. Then the white stuff started appearing on my windshield along with the rain. Then it was all white stuff. I drove in the snow for about 100 miles, not seeing well at all. Finally stopped 20 miles outside of Kansas City. Decided not to go to the hockey game because I couldn't see well enough to drive. Turned out okay because there wasn't a game. More on that tomorrow.
I would have given anything for a back and shoulder massage this evening. My body was so tense from that drive.
Instead, I walked (should I say slipped - on the ice) over to Clancy's, a restaurant walking distance from the hotel. They sat me by a fireplace. I had a glass of wine. Both were nice. |

About Me |
|
|
|
White rabbit!
You know, it's one thing to plan a trip and print 50 pages of directions, attraction lists, time of games, etc. Three hole punch them and put them in a binder in chronological order. It's another thing to remember to read them. |

As I was driving back to St. Louis (actually St. Charles) to see a River Otters game, I looked at my 'binder' and realized the Kansas City game was tonight. Since I was just 50 miles from St. Charles, I decided not to head back to Kansas City but to spend a few days in St. Charles.
So, I'll criss cross Missouri three times this trip.
I think I'm getting tired. |

This is a lot of what I saw crossing Missouri. Snow and farms.
Since today was sunshine, blue skies and clear driving conditions, it wasn't so bad.
Quite picturesque, in fact. |
