Abby's 1100 Mile Road Trip!

Thursday morning we started our "journey" to St. Louis, Missouri to attend our friends' wedding. On the way, we stopped in Iowa City, IA where I attended college. So much had changed -- including the discovery of 350 million year old Devonian area (pre-dinosaur) fossils. Abby LOVED hunting for the fossils.

Missouri is the twelfth state -- thirteenth for those of us who believe DC deserves statehood -- Abby has visited. In addition to attending the wedding, we went to the zoo, went up in the Gateway Arch, and visited the St. Louis Museum of Art.

Abby was an amazing road tripper! She was as content as could be coloring, looking at her Bible, listening to stories on her "I Pod," doing her stitching work, or simply snuggling with her animals!

We were accompanied by a roadtrip mascot!

Will taught Abby one of the most important skills needed on a long roadtrip -- window cleaning!
