Day 2: Independence Missouri

Today was about driving around 450 miles from Paducah, Kentucky to Independence, Missouri.  The land between these two cities is mostly rolling hills with no mountains to see.  We crossed two rivers, the Ohio and the Missouri.  Both were large rivers with lots of activity on the water.  

We did go through St. Louis and saw the famous arch (see picture) as we drove by.  Tomorrow we will make our way to Sioux Falls, South Dakota where the sights should be more interesting and photographic.  

Gabi slept most of the day in the car.  She is full of pep and vinegar so I hope she gets sleepy tonight.  Right now she is pacing the floor, drinking water, and wondering why we aren't out in the car riding.
