Today we crossed into the final timezone—Eastern, baybee! Deets and I were hoping to get a caricature done of us on the Indiana Beach boardwalk, but it was not that kind of beach, or boardwalk. That little amusement park seemed pretty sweet regardless, and the detour offered welcome roadside respite.

I’m not usually one for man-made feats, but Gateway Arch was very impressive, actually. It does not hurt that St. Louis is an easy city to navigate, and has several sweet bridges over that tremendous Missouri River.

Deets appreciates every moment around grass and even climbed a cemetery tree today. She rests in the car but does not sleep, and is currently totally passed out on our king-sized bed. Me next.
