Your intrepid adventurers made an executive decision to skip St. Louis and head home a little early. Not much could top Chicago, and once we were pointed toward Austin, nothing could stop us. Except Dallas. After a 16 hour drive, complete with copious pictures of the neglected St. Louis, Bryan and Leslie arrived safe back in the bosom of Texas.

City view Location: St. Louis It's buildings and an arch. (What you don't see is that Leslie took 20 pictures of this view.) - IMG 2391
Location: St. Louis She wasn't sure how close they would come on the highway, so she started snapping when they crossed the Mississippi and didn't stop until they passed the stupid thing. - IMG 2392

Catholic Guilt Location: St. Louis Also, she was trying to make up for the fact that they had planned to give St. Louis a day and a half, and ultimately didn't even stop for gas.

After this, it was just a long day of driving: more of lovely Missouri, then Oklahoma (dubbed *parental advisory* "a fucking hell-hole of a miserable shit state"), and, finally, rest, in Dallas, at 1 a.m.
