That morning Nathan said he didn't feel good. Nathan...the one who is NEVER sick! The one who hasn't thrown up in at least 6 years. Well, he was sick. We think it was food poisoning. Thankfully, no one else got it. But it changed our plans a little bit. We ended up getting into Hannibal much later than we had planned. By the time we finally got there Nathan was feeling ok. We missed the boat...literally. The riverboat cruised at 1:30 and we didn't get in until around 3:00. I was worried that there would be storms the next day and it wouldn't cruise and we would miss it completely, but it all ended up working out all right.
Since Nathan was feeling better when we got into town we went ahead and did some sightseeing. Here are the kids in front of the Mark Twain House.
This is the Becky Thatcher house...real home to Laura Hawkins, Mark Twain's childhood sweetheart. They are right across the street from each other.
Here are the kids whitewashing that famous fence Twain wrote about!
We climbed to the top of Cardiff Hill to see this lighthouse. Great views of the Mississippi from here!
This is the view from only half way up. The Mississippi was pretty full!
That night we ate at a great little restaurant on Main St. called the Ole Planter's Restaurant. They had really good homecooked food. Poor Nathan...all he ate was bread and crackers!
Stay tuned for more adventures of our Missouri Family Vacation!
