Dad and I hit the road at 8:00 a.m. for a drive of nearly four hours to St. Charles, Missouri. That’s what the start of an off-day looks like for us. It was our only off-day of the trip — after this, it would be 19 games in 19 different ballparks in 19 days.
We began the first of many multi-hour drives on this road trip, and a central quality of the overall journey — seeing America, chatting with Dad, listening to podcasts and laughing, or even learning.
I did not know, for example, that St. Charles was the first state capital of Missouri. We walked by the site of the building near our choice for lunch.
Lunch at Lewis & Clark’s Restaurant in St. Charles — the first state capital of Missouri — on our way to St. Louis. We both had the Riverwalk sandwich (pastrami and turkey)
