Day 3: Stl to Detroit

8am: Say good-bye to the kiddos...

drive to Detroit via:

World's Largest Catsup Bottle:
Collinsville, IL




































































World's (2nd)Largest Cross: Effingham, IL


World's Tallest (and ugliest) Lincoln Statues: Charleston, IL
World's Largest Egg: Mentone, IN

Apparently it is the eighth wonder of the world. We didn't think so.

Don't you wish you were on this trip with us? Yes-you do.

Yes. We do. And I'll forgive you for including a "2nd" largest in your rounds - but only because you took such beautiful pictures of it =)

Drive safely, friends!

I've driven by that cross in Effingham many times. Who knew it was record breaking? :) What a fun trip!

We drive by that cross whenever we come down to visit St. Louis. I love that it notes: world's largest cross in the western hemisphere. hehee :)

Yes, I do wish I was there with you! Exactly how far East/South do you plan on coming? Orlando has the world's largest McDonald's and Christmas, FL has the world's largest alligator. It's actually a building. And it's in a town called CHRISTMAS. You really shouldn't miss that! Not that we've been there. But we would try to come meet you if you come that far!

P.S. The alligator's name is Swampy. :)
