What an amazing day! After resting and regrouping, a visit with Ernie’s college roommate, Robert Thompson, and a beautiful 4th of July watching fireworks from our niece’s deck, we took a day trip to the top of Pike’s Peak today. It is beyond description to see the beauty of the world from the top of the highest peak in the lower 48 states. Elijah is calling the vast beauty of all of these places “God’s Disney World”.

RESCUED BY OUR FAMILY

After 2 long days of driving to Denver, we arrived to find NO AVAILABLE CAMPGROUNDS & not even Walmarts that allowed overnight parking. Our niece, Brooke , and her sweet family lovingly opened their home to us and our 2 dogs to stay for as long as we want!!! Thank you, Brooke, and all the family! And yes, it feels AMAZING to have real beds, showers, and a lovely home to recoup in after 2 weeks on the road.

The City Museum of St. Louis is different from anything I have ever seen! Beautiful works of art made from things salvaged from anything and everything, turned into a giant playground, surrounded by artifacts. It is an alternate reality and SO MUCH FUN! Climbing, squeezing through caves, exploring…we may not be able to move for a week but it was worth it. Then on to the arch of St. Louis and museum that reminds us of the early settlers. The gateway to the west! Such an amazing day!
