1,243 Miles Later--Finale

On Sunday, we got up and started the trek home. We wanted to go to the zoo, but the weather wasn't looking too good. We took a different route home so we could stop in Springfield, MO to see Lincoln's home.

After our stop in Springfield, we drove to just outside of St. Louis to stop for the night. We decided to go by the Arch the next morning.

We saw a good bit of flooding while traveling through MO. Here is just one example, a road flooded in front of the arch.  

Waiting to go inside.

Another view--Busch Stadium 

After lots of fun, a few days and 1,243 miles later, we arrived back home in Tobie town. We had a really great time. Bailey and I are looking forward to being back in Chicago in a few weeks for World Changers with the youth from our church.
