MORE from the
Sock Monkey
Road Trip!
 
Sock Monkey is reminded:  If you have nothing good to say,
don't say anything at all.
He says nothing about this stop.

Potty break!

At the home of Laura Ingalls Wilder.

Most of the drive was like this - this was a good part.

St. Louis Gateway Arch - in the rain!

Making one last stop in Missouri.

Got lost and crossed this bridge over the Mississippi River
THREE TIMES!

Abe Lincoln's Tomb.
(We were informed it was NOT a grave.)

Sock Monkey is glad thousands of people don't touch HIS nose
to make it all shiny, like Abraham Lincoln's nose!
 
Six states in 8 days!
 
Once home, Sock Monkey tells Plaid Lad & Dimples
where the secret stashes are located... all except for the
Banana Stash!  He's keeping THAT information to himself!
 
It's GREAT to be HOME!

Sock Monkey is ready to hit the road with the theme song:
'Highway to Hell'

On the Road

Crossing the Mighty Mississippi.

Sock Monkey isn't sure about going up the 4th Street Elevator
in Dubuque, Iowa.

In Iowa.  Wisconsin over Sock Monkey's right shoulder.
Illinois over Sock Monkey's left shoulder.  Mississippi River over BOTH shoulders!

Bananas Foster Pancakes!
