Superman, Part 2

JG was driving when we were pulled over. The law enforcement officer startled me as he approached the passenger side first. He asked where we were going and I said we were PCSing to Washington State but were on a detour to the Superman museum. He smirked and that's when I knew we weren't getting a ticket.

When he handed JG the warning he said that he knows Superman is important, but we had to slow it down. JG thanked him for the warning and we were off. Speeds were not mentiond purposely as our mothers read this blog. :)

Anyway, the Superman Museum was phenominal. The amount and variety of ***stuff*** could have filled a museum three times that size. We took photos in front of the giant Superman statue. We took photos at the cardboard cutout for Superman and Supergirl. And we indulged at the gift shop. A shot glass for Aunt Julie's collection. A Green Lantern glass for JG. A pink superman logo tank top that JG described as "sexy" and another matching pink superman T-shirt. T-Shirts for the boys and they each picked a toy. We got a magnet for the fridge. JG has comic PJ bottoms that I will steal eventually. Kryptonite rock candy rounded out the shopping trip.

In the truck I discovered a prong on my engagement ring broke clean off. The diamond is secured, but I sure am paranoid and curious how that could have happened.

The plan from there was to drive to Hannibal, Missouri, but to make a quick stop at Air Mobility Command Headquarters to say hello to the public affairs office. We did that then were well on our way then JG saw the exit for The Arch and it was another site-seeing adventure. Needless to say we didn't make it to Hannibal, we're right outside St. Louis.

We tried our best to get the boys flattened souvenier pennies, but the riverboat tours center and cafe was closed and the machines were on the other side of the gate. JG was determined to hop the fence, but luckily I offered another solution. Horse and carriage ride to take us somewhere else that had them. :)

By the end of our ride, JG's allergies kicked in. He's passed out right now - out cold after some Alegra and Sudafed. Edward is out cold too. Zachary is watching King of the Hill. Time to get some rest. Tomorrow it's off to Hannibal then back to St. Louis. Mets are in town.
