Exploring in Boonville
Sep. 24th, 2010 06:59 pmI'm still moving a bit more slowly than usual (and letting my Dad and Sister do all the driving). Today we slept in, went to lunch (and Martha & I got sidetraced by a lovely shop on Main Street where I bought the shirt in the snapshot), the visitor's center and then to the Cooper County Historical Society. We got lost on the way there and found a cache at the Hannah Cole Memorial Park which I thought was really awesome (Hannah Cole was the first white woman to settle here in 1810 or 1812, I forget). We spent the afternoon at CCHS and I copied quite a few pages from the Amick family file that weren't there the last time I visited. We shall see about new info! I have Reunion on my iPad so I didn't have to carry my computer. It worked out fairly well as a research tool.
We stopped at two rest stops on the way back to the hotel to get some caches and I was totally out of spoons. However, my father declared he was heading to the ice cream shop in Boonville. They have a 16-scoop sundae called the Bellybuster that he is totally jonesing to try to eat. (One person has ever finished one, he took 43 minutes and has his picture up on the wall.) My father may or may not go back tomorrow after the funeral for ice cream. The parlour also had very nice sandwiches and were happy to make me a turkey club lettuce wrap so yay.
My sister and I have hung out on our computers this evening. I found that my mother has tons of family pix on her facebook page, so I downloaded them. Very much a family day.
