Can't believe I forgot to include this side story when I was writing about my trip. While I was at Jackie and Gary's house outside of St. Louis, Jackie was asking me questions about the drive and all the places I had visited. She started giggling and said my trip was like the movie, "Ted's Excellent Adventure". Except this was Debbie's Excellent Adventure! And that's how the title for all the entries detailing my trip came to be. Thanks, Jackie, for the inspiration.
The End,
Debbie
Just thought you'd want to know!
