Final Wednesday with Peter

This past Wednesday was mine and Peter's last afternoon because I'm out of town next week and then school starts. So, for now we wrap up the summer with great memories and a guarantee to figure out something for next year too.

We went to Pompeys Pillar and I hadn't been there since the revamp for the Lewis & Clark bicentennial. They've done a great job on the interpretive center, new walkways, and the works. However, with all that comes a price tag. I didn't know there is now a fee so I wasn't prepared...as in no cash. You'd think since it's 2008 that taking a credit card wouldn't be a big deal but in this case it was. They didn't take it at the gate (but they do at Custer's Battlefield) and it was a major drama in the interpretive center. They pulled out the old slide-y thing and had to call for approval. It took like 15 minutes so if you go, take cash!

Once we made it through all that, we really had fun climbing to the top, then back down and to the river where Peter skipped rocks. As you might recall from a previous post, I am a rock skipping idiot.

We ended our final fun Wednesday at our favorite soda place....Kings Hat.
