After the Pavilion we drove down road to the Rock Island Arsenal which sits in the middle of the Mississippi River. After checking in and getting clearance (paperwork and prove of ID) to be on the base we were able to pass through the gates.
The kids got see an Army base. They remember stories that Grandma used to tell them about living on bases when she was a little girl. After we drove around we went to the Memorial Field.
Cason is very interested in cannons, tanks and rocket launchers and was eager to check everything out. He also wanted his picture taken in front of everything.
After walking around the base for a little bit it was time to head back home. On our way out of town we passed this beautiful old building, I think it was a church at one time.
Tug boats on the Mississippi River.
We drove for many hours and ended up staying the night in Poplar Bluff, MO.
