St. Louis Trip

Ryan & I took a road trip to St. Louis Thur-Saturday to see my mom and de-stress (work has been busy)! We had a fun visit with my mom taking her out for some great dinners & on a haunted hayride (which she loved!!)!

Here are a few of the highlights:

Me & My mom--she recently moved into a new apartment and loves it! It is a cute apartment and she has lots of nice neighbors!


Ryan and I stayed in St. Louis since mom's apartment is small. We got a great deal on Travelocity and the hotel we stayed at gave us warm cookies when we checked in!


I read this book on our trip--this same author wrote Tuesdays with Morrie (one of my favorite books)! I only have 75 pages left of this one!


Friday night we took my mom to Eckert's apple barn for dinner--it was great! They also have a great shop where we picked up the cutest apple cookie!


Beautiful mums!


$40 pumpkins!


Ryan the farmer!


Me at Eckerts--I loved this place!


We took mom to the Eckert Fun Farm for a haunted hayride and corn maze! The corn was so tall!


On our drive home today, Ryan and I stopped in Hannibal, MO and went through Mark Twain's cave! We went on a guided tour for an hour and it was so much fun! Lots of twists and turns and we saw one bat--thankfully he was sleeping!


Cave entrance-it was 54 degrees in the cave, it stays that temp year round!


Me in the cave--in my Hawkeye jersey (we won today)!


Cave treasures!


Me smiling in the cave--having fun!

We are home and unpacked and ready for Sunday--church, dinner at the President's house (more on that tomorrow) and an evening softball game! I'm off to do laundry!
