Top of the arch

It was wild up there with a bunch of teens. It also seemed just a bit too crowded for my comfort. Of course it was a great view.

St. Louis

St. Loius was fun and exhausting sadly I did not eat any bbq for lunch so I can't compare to kc bbq. We ate at a bar close to the arch and a block off the river. Speaking of the river it was mighty swollen as you can tell by thie statue in the picture almost covered over.

There were a couple riverboats on the water but our favorite we I was a kiddo, the McDonald's riverboat, was no longer there :( I asked a park ranger and he said it hadn't been around since the flood of 1993.

More picts to follow

God really blessed us last nught finding our hotel room. We wanted to travel to Columbia, MO to stay because it would let us sleep in a bit this morning before we head to the arch.



We had a coupon book from the gas station and tori called a bunch of the hotels and they said they were all filled up because there was a college graduation.



Then she tried one more hotel the Travel Lodge, they told her they only had one room left and it was 95 dollars! Then without asking the lady offered the room to us for 54 dollars if we booked it right there on the phone so we did. I was a bit nervous b/c who knows what the hotel looked like. I spoke in tongues as we drove in knowing that God has his hedge of protection around us and we wouldn't have to stay at a dump. Lol the hotal was nice but I would have never paid 95 dollars to stay there.



It is great to see God meet our need of a decent room then blessed above and beyond financially. And we didn't even have to use a coupon (rosie :))

Found Treasure

Posted by Liz McCoy View Comments

I forgot to share this yesterday some of you already knew I was going to look for it. But one of my hearts desires for this trip was to find my hand print in cement. I knew the location on the campus and that it was on the slab that a utility box cover sat on.

With all changes it was incredible to have found it over 20 years later. My sister, Rebecca and I stuck our hands in there in 1985. You can't read or see the prints very well but WOW what a treasure!

Peter Pan Park

Another point of interest in Emporia was peter pan park. A fun park we used to play at and have pictures of dad taking us down the slide.

We knew there would be a new playgroun but we were astonished to see our old euipment still there.

The pond looked good where I remember having fishing derbys and feeding the ducks.

Pictures of the park (old equip not shown-yeah not sure why I didn't get any on this thing)
