Midwest Memorabilia: A Photo Post

We recently returned from a truly memorable trip to the Midwest, where we visited family and friends, watched Daddy run 100 miles (and win!), and breathed in the general sweetness of rural America. Here are a few pictures from our adventures:

Benjamin and Annie playing on "The Columns" at the
University of Missouri in Columbia, Missouri

Annie pretending to be sad during a game of night-time spider
hunting at the campground (shine a headlamp on the ground
at night and watch the spider eyes glowing!)

Benjamin and Annie in what appears to be
a J.C. Penney studio picture (but isn't)

Pretty Annie Josephine
