**We will add more pictures later today!!
We got off to a great start this morning, heading out of Huntersville by 6:40 a.m.The first leg was a breeze as we rolled into Huntington,WV for lunch at around 11:45
This is where the fun begins. Lunch was at an amazing little place called, Hillbilly Hot Dogs. As we pulled up, we were a little apprehensive as we looked at the three trailers and two buses welded together to form a restaurant. You must look at all the photos of this establishment to get a true feel for the ambiance and decor. The food was awesome. Dane had a pizza dog, Jen had a corn dog and we were all amazed with the fried MACARONI AND CHEESE. The highlight of lunch had to be watching a guy order the Homewrecker which consisted of a one pound all beef hot dog deep fried and covered with anything you can imagine. Photos may not do it justice as it was bigger than my forearm.
From here we rolled into Lexington, KY. for the much anticipated round of Bible Golf. This course features three separate 18 hole layouts (The Old Testament, The New Testament, and The Miracles). Due to the heat we were forced to choose only one course and naturally, we went with The Miracles. Dane was dominate on the day with three hole-in-ones, crushing Jen by a score of 44-55. Obviously we know who is living right and who is not. Jake even managed a hole-in-one (completely on his own), which is a feat if you have ever watched him use a golf club.
The big letdown of the day was when we rolled up to the Louisville Slugger Baseball Museum at 5:05 and they closed at 5:00. I think Dane was more disappointed than Jake, who had no idea what he was missing inside and was fine with the four story baseball bat out front. To break the heat, we spent a little time at Waterfront Park in Louisville to cool off. This is definitely a city I could see returning to for an extended stay, very pretty and lots to do.
Not much to say about Indiana and Illinois on the final leg of the day. The highlight was dinner in an oddly obsessive place called Santa Claus, IN. The kids loved it and took photos with the giant Santa
In the end we rolled into St. Louis about 11:30 p.m. EST. What a gorgeous site the Gateway Arch is lit up against the skyline of St. Louis.
