Got up early and went to Sacrament meeting at 8:00 a.m. There was approx 500 people. 90% of them were senior missionaries and the ones that work in the visitors center just attend sacrament as they have to be onsite at 9:30. We came back to the hotel and there was a big thunder storm this morning so we didn't check out of hotel until 11:00. Went down to the sites we didn't get a chance to visit yesterday and toured those. Even walked about a mile to the Mississippi River so I could get some sand for Patsy.
We went to Carthage Jail even tho we had been there before. The rain had stopped but it started to pour again. We drove the long way to Springfield IL, birthplace of Abraham Lincoln. Got a room and then went to a very nice seafood restaurant. As we were waiting I asked a lady who was leaving if she enjoyed her dinner. She was so friendly and ended up giving us a 2 for 1 coupon. We had steak and shrimp for $20 for the both of us. If I continue eating like this I will be wearing my nightgown as of now my pants are really getting tight. I am afraid to step on a scale. We planned on our destinations for the next 3 days so we don't spend all of the time on backroads taking a lot longer than necessary. Everything is so pretty but I am getting tired of cornfields and looking forward to going to Indianapolis tomorrow then onto Louisville KY.
