Itinerary

So this is the potential plan I have mapped out for anyone who wants to visit. First it looked like just Brooke may be coming (you better let her, Ira!) but I talked to my mom last night and she said they are thinking about coming before the family reunion in the East. Once they read this exciting fun filled time I have planned, though, they won't be able to turn me down. Plus everyone else who reads it will be calling me up asking to visit too.
So here it is- based on arriving in St. Louis on Monday, then leaving on Sunday. I tried to link most of the places, so click for more info.
