Sadie and Archie see the Spirit of St. Louis Airport

      Sadie took Archie on a trip home to Missouri.  We went to the Missouri high school state cross country meet to watch Sadie's little brother race in Jefferson City.  His team won! On the way home we stopped in Chesterfield at the Spirit of St. Louis Airport and saw one of the St. Louis birthday cakes.  It is located at 18270 Edison Ave. Chesterfield, MO 63005.  The latitude and longitude are 38.65 N and 90.55 W.  This airport is special because it is small enough for private planes and pilots but also large enough for corporate jets.  The cake was designed to look like the metal that airplanes are made with.  Sadie and Archie traveled 488.6 miles round trip from the Wham building to Festus, Jefferson City, Chesterfield, and back to Carbondale again after stopping in Festus for the night.  The total miles Archie has traveled so far this year is 6802.93 miles.
