So we got stuck in a huge traffic jam coming into St. Louis from the Illinois side this weekend. Why was I so happy about it? Because I got some awesome shots of the arch and a blimp flying around as we sat there on the bridge.
SuperGuy was thrilled with me. “Scoot up a couple of feet. Don’t let that truck get beside us!! It will block my view!!” “You don’t mind if I roll down the window for a bit in this 95 degree weather do you, honey?” :hysterical:
I was so excited to the get blimp “inside” the arch!! Now I’m motivated to go downtown and get more shots of the city. I’m sure SuperGuy will be thrilled! 😉 Though maybe I could talk him into one of our photo competitions…

Seriously. I need a vacation. Right. Now.
I need to be sitting beside the ocean. Sipping a Yuengling Beer. A cold one.
I need my feet in the ocean. A break from the routine. Time to relax. Unwind.
We finally decided on Holden Beach, North Carolina for our September vacation. I cannot wait. It’s supposed to be mostly residential/rental houses. We got a house way down the island, so hopefully it will be almost deserted. Just like we like it. Might hit up Myrtle Beach for one night on the way there because we’ve never seen it. Then a couple of nights somewhere else on the way home. Only about 7 more weeks to go before we leave… :wallbash:
And this man really needs a vacation too. Just sayin’ :heart:
That is all. Just wishful thinking.

Seriously, SuperGuy and I stumbled upon the best cafe in Illinois when we were out antiquing. Ariston Cafe in Litchfield, IL.
Yes, that strawberry dessert tasted as delicious as it looked! My fav part of the lunch!
But I love the whole experience! From the authentic formica table tops…
To the to-die-for patty melt.
To the cute decorations in the cafe. We had the best time! I do not know how SuperGuy always manages to stumble across cafes and diners like this when we’re out antiquing, but he does. It’s part of our whole antiquing ritual now. Finding the perfect authentic little spot to eat.
So if you’re ever on highway 55 in Illinois, near Litchfield (it’s on old route 66…remember the Historic Route 66 sign I took a photo of?) …make a side trip into town and have the strawberry dessert at Ariston cafe…and anything else on the menu that catches your eye. Yum.
As an aside…if anyone has the recipe for that strawberry dessert, hook me up! I’ve googled to no avail.
