I wish I could drive! I like lying around the house, but road trips are fun, too. The other day we headed for the Katy Trail. We had lunch in Rocheport at the Trail Café then Auntie rented a bike and was off down the trail. The bike didn’t have a basket so I had to stay behind. When she got back we took a walk so I could see the big wide Missouri River. It was a little scary looking over the edge of the trail and seeing the river below and then I saw a big turtle sitting on a sandbar. Even with all the distractions I did a pretty good job of staying out of the way of the bikers. The Katy Trail was a pretty cool place for a walk.
After we all got loaded in the car, we were off to see another covered bridge. After a quick stop in Columbia for ice cream we were back on the road. The Union Covered Bridge, a little north of Columbia, was built in 1871 and provided a way for people to cross Union Creek. I was almost afraid to walk across the bridge—you could see the water when you looked down between the old boards.
It was a long day so I curled up in the back seat and slept all the way home.
