this past week

(Caleb and Ethan @ Fort Bellefontain)

We went to the Lewis and CLark event at FOrt Bellefontain(the last stop before St. Louis), it was pretty exciting to see where they stayed that last night. It was a nice little walk down a very steep hill, we coiuld have used the grand staircase(made of limestone)but there was no way that I was going to try to maneuver a stoller down it (see picture laster of the stair case). then to walk where they had walked was pretty interesting. wonder what they saw, who they met. I do have to say that I am by no means a back woods gal, give me the modern conveniences and I am happy. We were so busy that we did not even get to take a family photo.

As I have said I truly prefer todays accomodations, and the nearest Holiday Inn. WHile I like to camp and will camp this way 1 weekend out of the year, when I get home I kiss the ground, my bed, my 4 walls that I call home.
