8.7 sets

So today I realized that 15 years of swimming really has played a role on how I exercise. 90 miles is really just 9 sets of 10! Today we left from hamilton, IL and headed for missouri.

We started out with a few road closures from landslides that we could go through. We were supposed to cross into missouri after the 5th set or so...but there was apparently no road on the other side. So instead we happily stayed on the IL side of the river where it was nice and flat.

When we finally reached the bridge to cross over the mississippi nora was standing there saying "I am not going over that bridge" It was a small bridge and since katy and the mom had done some much scarier bridges. We flagged down a car to follow us and go slow to protect us from the other cars behind.

Just over the bridge we found the rivers edge motel our final destination for the day. We found a hotel room with 3 double beds so we are all enjoying our own beds.

We made spaghetti with awesome sauce our porch.
