Well folks, my long summer adventure is coming to an end. After Orlando, we came to St. Louis so Peggy could check up on her brother, Howard, before we head back to Arizona for a while.
We started our stay in St. Louis with a bang........or I should say - John, started our stay with a bang. We had just pulled into the Casino Queen RV Park, and Peggy was getting everything inside set up, when John comes in holding his head with blood streaming down his arms. Yup, all our RV friends know what he did..............he stood up under the bedroom slide out. Fortunately, there was a hospital just a few blocks away, so Peggy drove John there and he got eight staples in his head. (Ouch! I bet the staples hurt as much as the bump!)
In the meantime, niece Tamara had decided to fly in to St. Louis to spend the week end with us. She took the Metrolink from the airport, and was sitting on the doorstep of the coach when John & Peggy returned. I saw her there, but couldn't open the door for her. Tamara said she was beginning to think that John & Peggy had forgotten about her!
On Saturday they all went out to lunch at one of Howard's favorite old haunts. On Sunday, John, Peggy and Tamara rode the tram to the top of the Gateway Arch. You would never get me up that high! They said the views were awesome, and they also enjoyed the Arch Museum. Afterward, they went to Howard's to watch football and have a tailgate party in his room.
