We will fly into St. Louis, see a baseball game and visit friends. Next we will rent a car and drive north to Fort Madison, Iowa for one day of sightseeing driving back to St. Louis. Then we will drive south to Memphis for a day and then on to Little Rock to visit the Clinton Library. A quick trip into Oklahoma (probably Checotah) on the way to Kansas City for two days and then drive back to St. Louis for the flight home.
