Lindsey and Archie go to Clinton County Courthouse in Carlyle Illinois

Lindsey brought Archie on a trip home for Thanksgiving. Archie met all of Lindsey's family members in the north suburbs of Chicago and ate a nice big Thanksgiving feast. The turkey was great of course but the best dish of all was her family's spinach and artichoke casserole. Archie stuffed his belly with it! After a long break of fun, games, and food Lindsey brought Archie on another long car ride home. They got stuck in traffic leaving the city for two hours with Lindsey's friend Sam so they listened to Disney CDs to pass the time. On their way south, Lindsey made a detour to Carlyle Illinois to see the St. Louis 250 cake outside Clinton County Courthouse. It was getting cold and dark out but it was worth the trip to see such an awesome cake. The cake was located at 850 Fairfax Street in Carlyle which is 38.611165 Latitude and -89.368342 Longitude. The courthouse is an important location for one of the cakes because Clinton County, organized in 1824, was named after DeWitt Clinton. He was the seventh governor of New York and he helped build the Erie Canal!

Archie and Lindsey traveled one mile from Wham to her apartment, to her parents house which was 356 miles, from there to the courthouse which was 299 miles and from the courthouse back to Lindsey's apartment which was another 69.1 miles. Since the apartment is a mile away from Wham, Archie has traveled a total of 7529.03 miles so far this year!
