My Grandparents lived and got married in the famous St. Louis Cathedral almost 62 years ago and they had not been back to visit in years. Me, Mom, Dax and the Grandparents loaded the car and made a road trip to take them back down memory lane. It was a very special trip and so glad we were able to do this for them.
We did a lot of walking and eating but we also got to see so many families members we had not seen in years. We got to see PawPaw's sister Aunt Maggie, MawMaw's brother and wife, Uncle Pete and Aunt Deanie. We also meet a couple of their sons.
One of my favorite memories from the trip was going to church in the church they got married in. It was neat to experience that with them.
The hotel stay was an experience to say the least. This was Dax's first time to stay in a hotel and he loved it. We shared a room with my mom and got a king size bed. The second night we were there Dax got a stomach bug around 2 a.m. and started vomiting in the bed for about a hour. I felt so sorry for him but he woke up like nothing had happened. The next night around 3 a.m. the fire alarm went off in the hotel. I woke up everyone and headed down the stairs. I carried Dax down 18 flights of stairs. Dax is not a small kid so I sure was a workout.
We also had the chance to meet up with one of my sister in laws, Molly and her daughter Mica and son Rueben. They had never seen Dax before so that was neat for them to visit. Rueben is a few months older than Dax and they got along great.
