Wanderlust

We spent a great few days in Bonne Terre with great food and great company.

It was turtle nation there - Papa Joe found a turtle on the road and brought it back home so he wouldn't be ran over by a car. We named him E.T. - he looked like him, and he was on Highway E. Isn't he cute?

Looking for E.T. later, Cujo found Mini - let's all do an 'ahhhh' together now - so adorable! E.T. ran away from home fairly quickly, but Mini hung out for a while for our entertainment.

Also entertaining:

This section of Missouri has a great vineyard area, surprisingly! We hit a few of them. You can tell the progress from the beginning of our trip to the end of our trip, hehe. One of them had a cool cave you took a bottle down to enjoy in, another was a micro brewery as well.

Even though it's not spelled right, I had to take this picture for mom:
