My Trip to Missouri

Everyone that knows me, knows that I am completely attached to my mother! We are very close and I have always lived within driving distance of her. So you can imagine how upset I was when the day came that my step-dad, Steve got a job offer in Missouri and moved my mom and youngest brother to Columbia, MO. Now, don't get me wrong, I was very happy and grateful that Steve was able to find such a great opportunity, but I wasn't too crazy about the idea of them being SOOOOO far away!

With that said, the day that I knew exactly when they were leaving, I booked a plane ticket to go visit them with Ty's Best Friend, Jon. (Mike couldn't get off work and I was sad that he wasn't able to make it!) Yes, they hadn't even moved yet, and I already had a ticket! But it was a VERY GOOD thing that I had because it would have been A LOT harder saying goodbye!

Visiting my family in Missouri was a lot of fun. The day we arrived we went to the famous St. Louis Arch and took an elevator to the VERY top! It was definitely an experience and I now understand why people DO NOT like heights! But even though it was scary, it was A LOT of fun.




The second day we were there, Steve got us all tickets to the St. Louis Cardinals vs. the Arizona Diamondbacks baseball game. We had amazing seats and we were surrounded by avid Cardinal's fans. So needless to say, they weren't too happy when they heard us screaming "Go DBACKS"! Again, we had SO much fun!

The rest of the week was spent at my parents house relaxing! We went and took a look at a couple of hiking trails, went to the movies, and got mani's and pedi's! It was the perfect vacation, with the exception of missing my husband! But next time he will be with us to see how beautiful Missouri really is!
