First stop~St Louis!

   
     Our first stop was St. Louis. Josh's Mom and Dad drove us and we of course had to go out for dinner!  What would be a good road trip without a good dinner!   We ate at Crackel Barrel and it was yum!

    Then it was time to go to the hotel. It was a cheap nice hotel that definitely did the trick!  I should tell you that I am a germ freak and I ALWAYS bring my own bedding....well not to China!!  So I have really had to overcome my "fear" and sleep on theirs..yikes, with some help from God, I did just fine!
     I immediately dug into luggage and started re-packing .  I have had quite a time packing for so many, but after, ummm, 2-3 hours I decided that before my head would explode and my back would break, that it was time to just go to bed.  Well, of course, I didn't sleep much!  But, really, that was ok because i had to get up at 3:45am anyway!  The kids and josh all woke up so  well!  We had a very uneventful morning in our hotel! Praise God!
                                                        
   

     We went to the lobby and waited for our shuttle! It was great, me, of all people, on time!!
    It was a blessing, we got in our shuttle, and the driver was playing our Christian radio station!  It was
again, God letting us know that He is with us!!!

                                                     

    Josh and my kids have NEVER flown before!  So why not, just jump in with both feet and have a 14 hour flight, right?!?  They, this morning, were pretty nervous and rightfully so!   I will be back to write about our St Louis airport and flight experience when we land!  God bless and please pray:)
