Several days touring in St. Louis and beyond

Several days touring in St. Louis and beyond.

Since we've been without a computer for awhile, this blog is an effort to bring you up todate.

Our St.Louis camp in the middle of the city. Side by side. John and Helen's RV on the right and ours on the left.

Touring the AKC Museum. We learned it will be returning to New York next year.

An actual Chihuahua dog house.

A visit to SLAM, The St.Louis Art Museum

A special instillation of men's fashions through out the ages. This exhibit is from Los Angeles.

A Monet

This piece by a woman sculpture from the 1800s.

Onto the Museum and home of Ulysses S. Grant (his real name was Hiram Ulysses Grant but when he went to West Point he was listed as Ulysses S. He liked it and kept it.)

This is White Haven. Mrs. Grant's family home.

The ice house and chicken coop behind us.

Downtown St. Louis showing the Old Court House and the Arch from the Citygarden.

Traveling on to Abilene Kansas, we visited the Eisenhower childhood home, Museum, and Presidential Library.

This is one of several display cases of metals and ribbons bestowed upon Eisenhower from all over the world, at the close of WWII.

He was a supreme allied commander during WWII.

Missouri Botanical Gardens

Eureka, the computer is working today. Thought we would share some pictures of our visit to St. Louis and the Missouri Botanical Gardens.

A Chihuly glass piece hangs in the entrance.

Wintering over hot house. Over 100 years old.

There are lovely pools with statues all over the park.

Another Chihuly Art piece in the background.

In the Moroccan garden.

A new Moroccan King John Njus the 1st.

 Chihuly "bobbers" in another one of the pools.

These unbelievably huge pads are labeled Victorian Lily Pads.

Our Computer Died!

The unthinkable happened, our computer died! 

Thus no more blog, just pictures direct from the phone to Facebook. Here I'm sharing Helen Njus post. We're all in St.Louis.

Not sure if we can post here again, but we are on our way home. Expected to be there 9/10/2017.

Visiting David in Cannon Falls MN

Planned a visit with our friend David. Since he lives in St. Paul and we were in Rochester, we decided to split the difference and meet in Cannon Falls MN.

Cannon Falls is a small town with a populations of 4,083.

Cannon Falls Museum, 1888. Closed this day.

It looks like they have a new library.

This is where we didn't eat. We had planned on lunching here but they were closing to do some catering. They recommended Mill Street Grill down the street. So that is where we went.

Had a great lunch and a wonderful visit.

The restaurant had 3 doors inside; one labeled Tourists, one labeled Women and the other one Men. We had to ask. We were told it was the supply closet but they told children it was a dungeon.

We had not seen this door handle before.Guess where we stopped for dessert?

Back to our Rochester abode, AutumnWoods RV Park.

What's happening here? This is the first time Shelby has gotten on a table.
