Being stuck inside for days is making me a bit stir crazy. We drove to Culinaria on Tuesday, but riding in a car from one parking garage to another isn’t the same has being outside. When this happens I go back and look at look at photos at warmer times.
In late October my boyfriend and I rented a car and did a one day tour of the area around Augusta MO. Come along…
