The Zimm Twins just returned from their Adventure Across America!
The Twins did a GREAT job of being good riders in G-daddy's car. We drove 2,923 miles and everyone really enjoyed our trip.
We started out on Friday, July 23, 2010
and ventured to Texarkana for a quick picture at the Texas/Arkansas border and then to North Little Rock, Arkansas for the night.

Tuesday, we drove to Indianapolis, Indiana where we visited Lucas Oil Field, home of the Indianapolis Colts Football team. Doug and Kate seem to love cars that go "Zoom"
, so we took the tour at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, where we drove on the actual track and saw the Brickyard. The Zimm Twins were doing such a good job in the car, we drove to Purdue University to find the dorm that Great Uncle David lived in while getting his Masters in Psychics. We crossed the Wabash River on our way back to Indianapolis.

We drove to St. Louis, Missouri where we took the Anheuser Busch Brewery tour. At the end of the tour, Daddy and G-daddy got real beer samples, but Doug and Kate LOVED their first experience with RootBeer!
Thursday morning, t
he Zimm Twins ventured to the top of the Arch in St. Louis. They did GREAT and loved being up so high, looking down at the city.
During the afternoon, Kate and Doug wanted to go to the "BASE BALL BAT", so we took the tour at Busch Stadium where the St. Louis Cardinals play. We were able to go onto the field and into the 
dugouts.
