August 9 – Wash U and Sarah’s birthday!

Today is Sarah’s birthday. Hooray Sarah! She turned 17 today, and we gave her presents over the Lucky Charms provided by the hotel for breakfast. Yum.

We visited Washington University in St. Louis after breakfast. I got all excited about college (my own, not Wash U, although it was really nice), and we all liked Wash U.

We had lunch at the van (yogurt, peanut butter sandwiches, and whatever else was in the fridge and might go bad), and then left town. I got to see the arch!

Cars kept getting in my way, and I didn’t have a sock, so you’ll have to be satisfied with just the arch. How sad.

The states started to get smaller, so we hit…


and

(I don’t know why Illinois is so dark)

We crossed a few rivers.

And spent the night outside Louisville, KY, where children apparently have no respect for strangers camping, and run by and smack tents and scream without their parents getting in a fuss about it. Apparently.
