Day 16, trying again

 I thought I had just posted a blog for today but for some mysterious reason it has disappeared.  Perhaps my faithful computer is upset with me because I neglected it for so many days.  Anyway, we had a safe trip home today, and my wonder spouse and I are both looking forward to sleeping in our own bed.  Tomorrow we will tackle the small mountain of laundry waiting in the laundry room.  Meanwhile here is a picture I took as we left Knoxville TN this morning.

I liked this view of the Smoky Mountains as we started our drive north.

The autumn colors were glorious.

Because I couldn't post pictures with my earlier blogs on this trip, I'm going to include some with my upcoming blogs.

The first stop on our journey was at the St. Louis Arch. It was huge.

We took the tiny elevator to the top, a fun ride, and looked down on the mighty Mississippi.  A wonderful first adventure on this trip.
