There were great rocks at this little beach in Forest Park. Betsy is showing Dash and Wrenna how granite becomes gneiss. This is not something Betsy learned at her mother's knee.

A nice Route 66 panorama in a Dixon, IL Burger King. We saw the arch as we passed by it, of course, but you'll be glad to know I didn't try to take a photo while I was driving by at 50 mph. We could also see it out of our hotel room, but it was so hazy it wasn't worth trying for a photo.
We also liked how this panorama manages to go straight from St. Louis to the Rockies--leaving out lots of flat country in-between!
