We recently took a cross-country trip to St. Louis. Jonathan was in a wedding there, but plane tickets for four were too expensive. So, we drove 2600 miles, round trip. I thought we were crazy, but 4 long days in the van wasn't really too bad. Our first stop was in Ohio at Jonathan's aunt's house, where we got to celebrate Jonathan's grandma's 94th birthday. We, along with Jonathan's parents and brother, surprised her for her birthday. (Unfortunately, our camera battery ran out that day, so those were the only pictures we got of our trip.)
We spent a day in Ohio, and then drove on to St. Louis. While there, we got to see a lot of old friends, as well as hang out with Jonathan's parents and brother. We made a trip to the zoo, also. (That won out over the Arch, which Benjamin decided he was not ready for.) Jonathan also participated in the large wedding--there were 22 attendants in all. The reception was at the planetarium at the science center--very cool! After the wedding, it was on to see my aunt, uncle and cousin in southern Illinois. After a day there, we spend two days driving home. We managed to stop in New Jersey at Aunt Mary and Uncle Ken's house on our way home. We spent two nights in hotels with swimming pools--the boys loved that, of course!
