The travelogue

The Awakening Giant in Chesterfield, Mo.


And just to give you an idea of the size! (It was the first time I ever sat in a man's mouth!)


The world's largest rocking chair in Cuba. Mo.


Stonehenge in Rolla, Mo. It was our third Stonehenge. Karla and I were kind of "meh"!


The world's largest gift store. Not exciting enough to get us out of the car!


49!!! I've made it to almost all the states!


The grand canyon of Arkansas. Pretty, but.... it ain't no real Grand Canyon! 


Hot Springs. AR... really cool!


Little Rock Central High School! Well worth all the wrong turns!


Handy Park on Beale Street in Memphis!


The Civil Rights Museum in Memphis, at the Lorraine Hotel where Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated. Moving beyond belief. Karla and I spent nearly 4 hours there... rushing through the last part, and missing one whole building! Worth every minute! 


This is the bus that Rosa Parks rode on in Montgomery, Al... refusing to give up her seat!


And the bus that the Freedom Riders rode, that was burned just outside of Anniston, Al!


And Graceland.


Karla and I spent hours trying to find the Tina Turner museum, which may or may not exist. But we did get to Nutbush, Tn and the Tina Turner Highway!


And the iconic Gateway Arch in St. Louis!


Great trip! Great times! Great sister to travel with!
