Phoebe is having a ball on this trip. She gets to be posed with all manner of Americana. In this photo, we found an abandoned 2 story Santa Claus but a couple of abandoned gas stations and hotel. We were in the middle of Indiana having lunch at an Amish buffet when we saw this. Crazy. From the prices of gas, we can tell it was closed sometime last summer when we were in the $4 gas economy.

Saturday's adventure in driving took us from Lexington (boo Sheraton) through Kentucky and into Indiana and then Illinois and finally Missouri. We are outside of St. Louis staying in a Chalet in a strange complex of hotels and restaurants. Pretty cool place since it has this whole Swiss Matterhorn feel. Ooh, and there is a restaurant named Pujols. Baseball themed restaurant.

We're gonna go check out the Arch this morning and then visit relatives. Should be a good day in Missouri.
