*There is no shortage of fireworks stores or gun shops once you cross the border into Missouri. We were in the state all of one minute before we passed 5 places that sold fireworks and a few gun establishments....oh, and a trailer park or two.
*I need to teach Benjamin that leopards, lions and tigers are not "kitties". Pretty sure he would have tried to hug this cat if he could have gotten out of his stroller.

*You can't drive across town in 10 minutes, but 30 minutes isn't too bad.
*There is an abundance of family activities in St. Louis. We went to 4 parks, all lovely, the children's museum and the zoo while we were there. We didn't even have a chance to hit the art and science museums let alone the various "farms"...we were house-hunting after all.
*North Dakota and Minnesota are not the only states that have nice people. I randomly met the cousin of one of the doctors that Jeff is going to be working with at his new job while we were at a playground. Benjamin just had to say hi to her dogs and while we were casually visiting we discovered the connection. She gave me her business card and encouraged me to call or email if I needed anything.
*I love QuikTrip....I may be picking up a blended coffee drink every time I get gas in MO.
*Living in a big city won't be as scary as I thought it was going to be.
*I am getting really excited for this next chapter in our lives.

Quick Trip (or QT as the locals call it) is AMAZING. We alway pick one up in Des Moines, which is the closest QT to Rochester, on our way to KC. You will love their beverage madness!
