A side trip to St. Charles always makes my wife happy. We love the history of the old Main Street there, and the ships are unique and nice. With the kids and their interests, we thought we would split up this time. I took to the Missouri River to check out the replica of Lewis' and Clark's flat-bottomed keelboat, stored in the boathouse for viewing when it's not in the water. Ther is a museum here, as well, but my son and I opted not to tour it on this trip. The large statue commemorating Lewis and Clark is a strange one to me. With its prominent sideburns, I think Meriwether Lewis looks more like Elvis Presley than an important explorer in the early 19th century.
