Ever since I met Steph we’ve made trips to Phillipsburg KS at least once a year to see her family that is there. So I’ve been there at least 19 times and Steph at least twice as many times as that. So Phillipsburg almost feels like home. We planned to spend our last few days of this adventure visiting the little town that feels so familiar. Phillipsburg will be our exclamation point of this amazing trip. It was about a 6 hour drive from Kansas City to Phillipsburg and we made the trip without issue. We are staying at the Cottonwood Inn RV park on the east edge of town. We checked in, picked a spot and set Ava up for the last time on this journey. The kids and I put on our swim suits and headed straight for the pool to cool off…it felt great! After dinner Steph’s cousin Tiff and her family stopped by to visit for awhile after they did chores. Dacen and Michael played with Legos while Brielle and Chloe played with Barbies.

We had one of the smoothest moving day mornings of our trip as we packed everything up at Cahokia RV Parque. Without even trying we were on the road by 9:30 on our way to Kansas City. As we pulled out and said good bye to our campsite and began our last Thursday of this trip Brielle said, “bummer, we never did get to try those donuts.” Every time we drove into St Louis we passed this little donut shop called DJs Donuts. We have stopped for donuts on moving day twice before and both times were more like lunch time donuts: once in Panama City and another time in Philadelphia. So I figured we needed to have breakfast donuts for a change and I pulled Ava and the Beast into DJs to get some fuel for our bellies.
