Another trip out to see Hubby and some more stops on the way. Right now Hannibal is a great place to stop and stretch our legs and wait for Hubby to get off of work. This time we did a little more exploring of the town. Our travels took us out to Lover's Leap which has an amazing view of the landscape. We saw train tracks, barges, the steamboat, and speedboats. When we told Ducky and Grandma where we had been they sent pictures of when I had gone to the same spot when I was Bubby and Mookie's age.

While we were there we compared the story of the two Native American "lovers" to the story of Romeo and Juliet that the kids had been reading over the past week - edged in a little literature discussion there ;)
One of our favorite, and cheap, places to go is the local library wherever we are visiting. So far both the ones we've been too have been great historic buildings. Hannibal's was really neat because of all the fun things to play with, and Bubby discovered they had every single Hank the Cowdog book and maybe each Boxcar Children - that's important you know!
The day ending up with seeing Hubby and some treasures he found for us - a coral or crinoid fossil and coal, which leads into a science/art study just because - I love homeschooling!
