Needless to say, we know how to have a good time and one of our favorite past times just happens to be driving around while drinking a pumpkin spice soy latte.
We ventured out west- west of St. Louis, that is. There is a beautiful little community called St. Albans, that is tucked away in the bluffs of Missouri. I have always tried to make a drive this time of year and now I can say that I have finally done it. And yes, it was well worth it.

| Just beautiful!! |
 |
| Just around the river bend! |

| Get me out of the car!! |
 |
| Not the best pic of us, but we sure were having fun! |
 |
| Is that a slide I see? |
 |
| The beach |
 |
| Wheeee! |
A little history:
What was once a country retreat for St. Louis families is now an upscale residential community with a country club and a wonderful golf course. St. Albans sits in the bluffs of Franklin County and has some amazing views. The St. Albans Head's General Store and the Farms Stone Barn are on the National Register of Historic Places. Lewis and Clark's expedition lead them through this area, almost costing Lewis his life on the bluffs.
