We started on the Mississip;
The St Louis Arch was a go.
Cahokia mounds were so thorough.
Kansas City brought Independence,
As we visited Liberty Jail,
And were told the tail.
Of our prophet in remembrance.
Onward we drove,
To Council Bluffs where we learned,
Of our heritage that yearned,
For religious freedom.
Then the many stops:
Fort Atkinson, Fort Kearney, Ash Hollow, Fort Osage,
Jail and Courthouse Rocks, Scotts Bluff,
And back to Chimney Rock.
Fort Laramie, Fort Caspar,
We couldn't go any faster!
One Moore family reunion,
And on to Yellowstone.
The Grand Tetons we did roam,
With Jackson Hole, antlers and all.
Visiting family and friends
All along the way;
The Zent's and Wilcox,
Snell's and the Scott's,
Knighton's, et al en Utahts.
To California we came,
To come back again,
For a week of fun
With my sister, husband, and their daughters and sons.
Now in San Luis we do reside
For a month or 'til we decide,
To head back to Nashville,
Along the Southern trail.

Love your poem! Have fun in SLO!!
I know I'm a little behind in blogging!(I'm going to try and get to it this weekend)School has started, family has left and we've taken our last trip. Phew! Oh, and Kellyn is growing up much too fast.
It looks like your trip is going well and you are seeing lots of neat places. Aida was just asking about the boys yesterday, and was very disappointed to hear you wouldn't be back in town for a while. Enjoy the rest of your trip!
