Midwest Meandering

Well, we are currently at a hotel in Davenport, IA and I thought that I would post some pictures of our trip so far. We left yesterday after class and drove down the I-35 to Kansas City, MO and then took the I-70 over to St. Louis, MO. We got there about 2am and went to sleep.

Jensine and Isaac getting some sleep. Wait, what irresponsible person took this picture while driving...?

Our boys still decided to wake up between 5-6am. Luckily, we convinced them to go back to sleep for a few hours after breakfast. After breakfast, we headed into St. Louis and visited the Gateway Arch. It was pretty neat and we wish that we could have had a little more time to view the museum aspect beneath it.

Austin was in the stroller just below the picture; yeah, we should have picked him up.

A nice relief from inside (beneath) the Arch.

I had my Air Force JAG interview at Scott AFB, across the border into Illinois and then we headed up the I-55 and made our way to Davenport, IA for the night. I head to Rock Island Arsenal, IA for my Army JAG interview and then back to the Twin Cities.

Austin happy to be out of the car, even if only to be in a high chair.

Here are some other random, yet recent pictures.Isaac enjoying a chocolate frosted cupcake in honor of Jensine's birthday.
