Exploring ancient history


The largest ruins in North America, outside of Mexico, are just across the state line. Before it got really cold, we took a trip over to Cahokia Mounds to check things out. They had a pretty nice museum that you're not supposed to run around in and yell, evidently. We watched a little movie, that you're not supposed to provide your own narration for, so I was told. But best of all, they had a lot of stairs to climb. I climbed up the tallest mound on my own legs.


And back down, too. And then we had a snack.
