SEPT 2011 Hannibal MO
So further up Eastern MO we went to Hannibal, MO, Home of Mark Twain. I did much more walking here, not as many places to sit & the sites are not for the mobility challenged, Lots of stairs. I love history, though, so I climbed every step I could muster & you MUST to visit the Mark Twain Home Museum! In Hannibal, you have to visit that museum, which is contained in a few different buildings & make sure to take the Hannibal Trolley Company Sightseeing Tours! They take you to all the relevent sites including Riverview Park that has outstanding Mississippi River views & a beautiful Mark Twain Statue!
SEPT 2011 Kimmswick MO
Coming back from Family Reunion, we decided to go further up the East Coast of Missouri & visited a hamlet outside of St Louis called Kimmswick, MO. Now, we've been here before, stopping by on our way to previous Reunions. Very nice place to shop & eat at The Blue Owl. Stopped in & visited with owner Mary. Very busy place, but worth the wait!
SEPT 2011 Cape Girardeau MO
Every Labor Day Weekend, we have a family reunion near Cape Girardeau MO. In 2011, we did a bit of walking in downtown Cape right next to the Mississippi River. Quite beautiful & fortunate for me they have a few benches! Whenever I go on a trip, I must rent an Oxygen Generator, but I still need to be able to sit & catch my breath!
Lovely town, Lovely people in the "Boot Heel" of Missouri. Go visit Cape Girardeau!
