Can you guess where our road trip destination was?
Yes, cardinals fans...we were in St. Louis.
Quinn added a new state to her travel passport. Missouri is now state 11 for her. That's quite a few states for only being 21 months old. :)
We spent two days enjoying some family time and taking in all things Thanksgiving and Christmas. In the morning we headed out to enjoy the wonderful Thanksgiving day parade, just a quick train ride away.
By evening after our bellies were full from our Thanksgiving feast, we enjoyed a Christmas carriage ride through Winter Wonderland, filled with thousands and thousands of lights and decorations.
First train ride.
Watching the parade!
love this picture. mesmerized by the big balloons.
a proud little American girl.
Our evening horse-drawn carriage ride was a special treat.
It was a beautiful park filled with gorgeous lights and Christmas decorations.
We all loved it.
If you know me, then you know I fell in love with our horse.
And was quite concerned that I didn't want him to be working too hard. :)
His name was Lightning, despite that we were told he was actually the slowest of the group. He was huge and beautiful and Quinn loved him as well.
We were hit with some rain towards the end of our ride, but Quinn loved that part too. Good thing it was 68 degrees outside. :)
We had a very nice trip and time with Genny and Derek. We enjoyed seeing a little more of St. Louis and having fun with things that got us in the holiday spirit. And we had safe travels to and from, so we are very thankful.
We arrived home Friday evening after a quick stop in Bloomington for some delicious food from Avanti's.
On Saturday we enjoyed a lovely day at home and hosted our own Thanksgiving dinner with our little family and Todd's dad, Ron. We had a wonderful time just visiting and spending time together.
Such a wonderful holiday.
now bring on all the Dalton's/Harvey's for Christmas! :)
