Amanda and I have been dreaming of a shopping trip to Springfield for ages but with 2 little ones and a 3 1/2 hour drive, it would be impossible for a day trip. 6 months ago, Pj found information on an event in Springfield that he wanted to go to. But again, it would be a bad plan for a one day trip. We decided to go ahead and plan a whole weekend. Us girls could shop and the boys could go to their events. We've been saving money for our gas and shopping funds and counting down the weeks.
It's finally here! We're packing our bags, picking up the van tonight and starting our adventure as soon as Pj gets home from work tomorrow. I'll keep the kids from taking naps tomorrow morning so everyone will be nice and sleepy for the long drive.
I googled all of the must-see stops and Mallory of Mallory Makes Things was kind enough to help direct us on our Vintage Tour of Springfield, MO.

ReplyDeleteI've never been to Springfield--only Kansas City and Branson. Although, my grandparents in NW Arkansas get one of the Springfield TV stations! Have a great trip! Can't wait to hear about it.
