Sunday Evening - Trip Photos - Cape Girardeau Day 2, (World's Largest Fountain Cup, Trail of Tears State Park) and More

It's the first day of autumn and, after a miserably hot last day of summer, cooler temperatures have arrived. I'm so thankful! I hope you and yours had a lovely last weekend of summer! Before another busy week starts, I thought I'd get on here and share a few more trip photos. 

Day 2 of our trip started with breakfast at our hotel. 


Aaron's sister, Kate, from Illinois met us at breakfast and spent the day with us. We had a ball!





The first stop on our way out of town was to see the 'World's Largest Fountain Drink Cup' in Cape Girardeau. It was just around the corner from our hotel.



The cup stands 15 feet tall and holds 
605,556 regular size cups of whatever the nearest convience store would care to put into it.



Next we headed to Trail of Tears State Park near Jackson, Missouri.







We toured the visitor center, got to observe several reptiles along the rock wall, and shed tears while learning about the forced removal of the Cherokee Nation from the southeast United States. I am sharing the movie that we watched here...



We enjoyed a picnic lunch on the grounds and the beauty of the surrounding river bluffs. 







Trail of Tears is a beautiful park and one I'd like to visit again and spend more time at in the future.

Until next time...
