ST LOUIS: July 1-2 (Day 40-41)

For the last stop on our trip we went back into St Louis to visit my brother Matt and his wife Katie. Chris and his family were also in town for the 4th of July.

After waking up at a rest stop just west of Sioux Falls, we got out of South Dakota early in the morning to get to Matt's. It was a pretty boring drive, the highlight being probably all the road construction through Iowa or taking a detour through Omaha.



We kept going, falling behind schedule, when we stopped for gas right as we got into Missouri. Much to our suprise, there were huge fireworks stores blanketing the side of the interstate. Being almost the 4th of July, we stopped in and splurged.



After that we drove the rest of the way through Missouri pretty uneventfully.

We spent the next 2 nights with Matt and Katie, who had just come back from a 6 day rafting excursion in the Grand Canyon. They claim it was their best vacation ever, but I think they forgot about the time we went to Poland for New Year's together. Anywho, the second night I finally got around to taking some pics of the fam. Enjoy:


Kaj was being a buster all day, getting into trouble


So Chris sent him to bed


Matt showed off his cooking skills again with a diner of Bratworst, potatoes, beets, squash and microbrews


Food was delicious






So was the beer.
