Springfield: As in Abraham Lincoln, not The Simpsons

Wednesday, June 21, 2006

Oh, I should be taking a trip to Springfield, Illinois in a few weeks. It's a history group thing and we are taking the train. I love Amtrak, but haven't taken the train since I lived in Jeff City. No--wait. I have done the Amtrak thing when in Philadelphia or Boston and want to get to NYC or DC quickly and without the total BS of a flight.

I would also like to take a fun weekend trip to Springfield at some point during a summer. They have a great waterpark there. The guy who owns the waterpark also owns a drive-in theatre. Unfortunately, all the drive-ins near me in St. Louis are long gone. A shame, since there used to be three near us in northwest county. I digress--the Springfield trip could be a fun activity. Now, I just have to find someone that thinks the same and would be willing to come along.
