Rest Day - Vandalia (July 27)

After a good night's sleep, my son Kevin and I paid a little visit (via 4 wheels, of course) to the Vandalia Statehouse, which was the state capitol building prior to Springfield.
Wouldn't you know it... honest Abe was just sitting there reading a paper... so I joined him.

Then we went to the local Walmart and purchased a 3-wheel push stroller to replace my 2-wheel golf cart.  The people at Walmart (in Vandalia) were wonderful and even discounted the price $50 on behalf of my walk.  This new cart should really help me along my way through the upper 2/3rds of the state.
Now we're off to do lunch, to see a movie (in the air conditioning, of course), to wash some clothes at the local laundromat, then to finish up the day with a nice dinner.  I will get one more good night's rest before continuing my travels in the morning.
