We Are Home!

Since we done soooo much while we were gone on Jesse's trip, we are going to post each days visit each day here. starting with Day 1.

We got early Saturday morning(July10) got breakfast and then picked up a rental van from Elliotts rentals in scottsburg, we packed it up and hit the road. we first stopped at a Micky D's just outside St.Louis because there is "NOTHING" between Indiana and St.Louis! LOL! we got it to go, and went to St.Louis Zoo. we had a great time, getting to visit most of the day. I will attach a few picks from there. after visiting the zoo, we had dinner at Applebees and went on in the direction of Missouri. after about a few hours we stopped at a Comfort Inn and got a good nights rest.

The ride to the zoo wasn't near as bad as we expected, it only took about four hours. parking was easy and getting into the zoo was free!! that's St.Louis tax dollars at work! but Jesse really had a great time, we looked at all the animals,reptiles,etc and took a train trip around the zoo.

The van we got from Elliotts was in great shape, and very clean. I wasn't a mini van enthusiast in any way until I drove the Grand Caravan, its a pretty nice ride for long trips like this one.

We also want to Thank everyone at Make A Wish Foundation for doing this for Jesse. it wasn't a typical make a wish trip and a little extra had to be put into it, so Thanks!

I think that about sums it up for today, we will be back tomorrow for the second days trip information. also with an update on how chemo went.(chemo via port, and lumbar puncture, and a brain MRI) Thanks for visiting.
