Trip to St. Genevieve

Saturday Jer and I took a trip down to St. Genevieve Missouri... a little historic French village south of St. Louis. I hadn't been there since we went on a field trip there in 8th grade. Jer and I have been trying to find things to occupy our time until Delaney arrives and it just sounded fun. I borrowed these pics from the web because I didn't take any pics, but the first one is the Bolduc House build of vertical log construction in 1770... it's a museum now. The second pic is of the Old Brick House. It was the first brick building built west of the Mississippi River. We had lunch here... fried chicken, green beans, corn, mashed potatoes and rolls... it was neat to be in such an old establishment. After we ate we ventured into a shop called Sweet Things and we had a blast picking out old fashioned candy.. and some new stuff too (Jer had to get Fun Dip) We picked out things to take back to the fam then headed to Sara's Ice Cream and Antiques. Nothing wrong with antiques.. but I was there for the ice cream.. and boy was it yummy! I had a huge banana split that I got to customize! mmmmmmmmmmmmm I tell ya! It's a neat little histric village if you like that sort of thing. We didn't stay too long though as we wanted to get back in time to listen to the Cards game by the pool... too bad it was a butt kicking! Oh well.. a fun day nonetheless.
