Megan and Rolly travel Southern Illnois

Rolly told me that he wanted to go to school with me so he took a fun filled adventurous trip to Harrisburg Illinois with me. After we spend the day with some pretty cool 8th graders we traveled back to Carbondale. Here we stopped at Woodlawn Cemetery, the home of the first Memorial day EVER!!! put forth by General John A. Logan himself! After we paid our respects Rolly and I headed up to DeSoto.
DeSoto was hit by a tornado on March 18, 1925 which almost completely destroyed the town. Rolly and I stopped by the local fire station where the town has erected a memorial and took our picture to remember our relatives who survived the great storm. After we took our picture we went home and fell asleep after a long day of driving!
