She was feeling quite a bit better by morning, though not quite 100%. We decided to take another group picture- this time with a mirror instead of the timer.
The next day we stopped at a tourist cave spot on the way home... I guess one that Jesse james used as a hide out at some point. It was a blast.
Cool stones to look at-
"exhibits"
In this one you can see in to the main entrance of the cave

Goofy fun in the gift shop
There was actually a motel there that we intended to stay at... but that proved to be a terrible idea. After finding a 2nd bug in the beds of the room, we asked for a refund. I don't care if it is 9PM... I am just not that strong.
The area was beautiful though, otherwise. It would have been wonderful to stay right there. Here are a couple from the playground. It was nice to (intend) to stay somewhere that they didn't have to sit quietly in a hotel room all evening.
We stayed at a hotel right around the corner and came back in the morning for "gem mining" that was closed already the day before. The girls really really wanted to do this so I tried to make it happen.
"I found this one"
You know, not long in to Missouri the scenery started to feel like home... I love this region, it is so pretty. (Before you say anything, I just held the camera up and pointed it out the window... didn't even look)
Then this one is just 15 minutes north of home.
We had a great trip... even with illness it was a great road trip.

Beautiful photos and beautiful girls! Looks like you had a blast.
What an amazing trip! So many beautiful pictures of your gorgeous girls, and you, too! :D
I wonder if they find being back home again to be terribly boring? ;)
