we took interstate 64 west to missouri and stopped for gas at a flying 7 with a denny's in marion, illinois. we had lunch at the crackerbarrel there and chanda and i had a very particular order (we all ordered breakfast food), which may have rivaled meg ryan's in when harry met sally. greg commented that we gave the server in training a run for her money. chanda and i tried playing the peg game which reminded us of when we stopped at crackerbarrel with morgana on the way home from korrina's bridging at ferry beach. we had jack along, and one of us always had to be with him on the porch.

back on the road we hit some rain . .
rice fields!
gmo corn fields . .
and lots more rain . .
but beautiful blue skies in missouri!
it was so nice to arrive at the weaver inn, in mansfield, home to laura ingalls wilder. we were first given the americana room which had two beds, but since it was off the busy main street and smelled a little moldy, we requested an upstairs room even though it had only one bed.
chanda rolled out sleeping bags on the floor and was very comfortable.
it was the nellie room . .
we went to subway for dinner which chanda and i didn't really like, but it was nice eating it out on the hotel's patio.
it's a very small town!
