Me: "Seems I only visit once in a blue moon".

FDIL: "We can only put up with you once in a blue moon".
We had good roads and few traffic hold ups coming from Colorado. Hope the same is true going back.
I drive in Illinois only when I can't avoid it. Bad roads, 65 mph and revenue generating police every ten miles isn't my idea of a good trip. I have a route via Sikeston, MO to Wickliffe, KY and then Padauch and back on the Interstate. Unfortunately the Hwy60/62 bridge was closed. We ended up going into Illinois and Cairo, ILL. My oldest granddaughter freaked. Such a depressing place. I'm certain she won't enjoy it tomorrow either. Still, 15 minutes going via Cairo is better than two hours via St. Louis proper.
Our rental Nissan SUV is comfortable and it is nice sitting up where you can see ahead easier. Not too happy with the 22 mpg but renting in a smaller city limits your choices.
My grand daughter is 22 and tech savvy. Amazing the things she can do with her smart phone and the electronics in the rental. Makes me regret, just a smidgen, being a Latter Day Luddite.
One shocking moment was seeing all these tall kids masquerading as my grand kids. Need to visit more often.

I'm glad you're having a good time. ::snort:: Blue Moon. I know it's out there, but it's always overcast here when one of those celestial events occurs.
I have a good relationship with my father in law, I think we bonded over humor in the beginning and it's never changed. Also because he has never interfered or attempted to... whatever I did/said in being married to his son and raising his grandchildren was never remarked on in a derogatory way. He's a good man.
She is a good person.
When in Sikeston, MO you must stop at "Lambert's - Home of the Throw'd roll". Seriously. It's worth the stop.
Enjoy the family while you can. The do grow up fast and move on to never be seen again... unless they want something.
When we were moving test mules around for Roush that was a favorite lunch stop. Excellent food.
Lucky to be in a self sufficient clan.
OMG. you have met your match. So funny!
Glad you are having a good trip!
It is amazing to see what the grandkids, most of whom are in their twenties now, can do with electronics. Problems only arise when I ask them to show me how to do something, and they do it so fast.
Enjoy them, they grow up & away way to fast.
Safe journey.
Me going up against the women in my extended family is like a high school football team trying to play in the NFL.
I'm enjoying it.
The things they can do astound me.
