This morning we learned a lot about Mark Twain. We went to his boyhood home, Huck Finn's home, and Becky Thatcher's home--or at least the real people whom he based his characters. We also went to the Mark Twain Museum, which was very well done. Then it was time to explore the Mark Twain Caves. It was a good tour, and they tied in parts of Tom Sawyer, which made it fun. The best part of all....the second day in a row without rain!! Then we drove 4 hours to Des Moines. The hotel we are staying at tonight has a water park inside, so the kids are enjoying that.
Tomorrow we are off to Dan's family reunion. I'm not sure about the internet access, so you probably won't be hearing from me until we are back home.
