Prior to our trips, Anthony likes
to download some movies for watching
in the car. It's also a little R&R at our house.
We left at 8am on 7/19 with 3,948 miles
on the car. We like to travel Federal
highways when we can and this is the old
Route 66 that we paralleled through IL.
Our first stop was the Illinois State House.
Truly the prettiest and most elaborate
of all the state capitals we've visited.
We met the capital Sergeant at Arms and
he invited us onto the floor of the Senate.
Anthony was allowed up to the podium
to the President's seat.
Recently renovated IL Supreme Court
Next stop; Hannibal, MO
After a dip in the pool on a very hot 100+ day,
we walked the 244 steps to the lighthouse.
This lighthouse was never used for navigation but
built as a memorial to Mark Twain to commemorate
his 100th birthday. Beautiful view of the Mississippi
from up here.
