On our drive from Nauvoo to Independence we made a lunch stop at Hannibal, Missouri. This was where Tom Sawyer was born and raised, and was the inspiration for his books ‘Huckelberry Finn’ and ‘Mark Twain’. It was quaint and enjoyable and a much needed change from our usual routine.
The house were Tom Sawyer was born
I even found the most wonderful quilt store there and, even though it was Sunday, I succumbed to buying some lovely fabric that will go well for some projects I plan to get into when I get home. I think I have been inspired by some of the beautiful quilts that have been on display in the different areas we have been visiting.
