Thanksgiving Roadtrip…Branson, Fayette, and Charleston!

I don’t think in all my years, I have made a road trip for Thanksgiving. In the past, I’ve enjoyed going to my mom’s or dad’s just minutes away, or I’ve even flown out of the country; but this year, we took a road trip from Denver to Charleston with a few stops along the way. It was fun!

Sadly, I think it succumbed to constant humidity and no A/C.  No phone calls or texts today, and I’ll have to geocache the old fashioned way…download a few caches onto my GPS as this is my last chance to check Missouri off the list in my quest to find a geocache in every state.

ON THE ROAD AGAIN!
