We don't go on many road trips but today is the start of an annual trek. We drive to Marysville, Kansas, for Thanksgiving weekend, leaving this afternoon with an overnight stop in Kansas City. Dinner at our favorite KC restaurant with Emily, Brian and Madeleine. On to the town where my my wife's mother lives on the morning of the holiday and straight back on Sunday. 400 miles/644 km each way. Elvira Kruse's birthday is right after Thanksgiving. She will be 95 this weekend.
The sign in the picture is a St. Louis landmark. It's been there with a couple of design changes for decades, even though BP (British Petroleum) took over Amoco (American Oil Company) some years ago. It looks bigger in person than it does in the photograph. The view looks west on Clayton Road from Skinker Boulevard at the southwest corner of Forest Park.

It's huge!
It would be hard to miss Bob :) enjoy your trip, take care on the roads..
Growing up, the AMOCO station was always the priciest place for a fill-up. Got my papers dropped off there. No car yet, but knew.
I remember it!
Have a great Thanksgiving!
