We were up fairly early this morning because we wanted to get started before eight and we had packing to do before that. We hustled so that it was about seven thirty when we left instead. Shirley, Mom and June were in the back. We’re taking Shirley to St. Louis. We were to meet the Maxwells at Joplin between nine thirty and ten but it was ten thirty before we got there and they had been waiting most two hours. We changed around and all the kids got into the Maxwell’s car with Frank driving and the grown ups in ours. We got in to Springfield at about twelve thirty and had lunch at the Maxwell’s house. After lunch we stood, I mean sat, around and talked until four when we had to go out into the country where we were to meet some second cousins (Mom’s family). On the way out Frank took us to the aviation field. The Maxwells left us at the Thonesons where we had supper. After supper while the relations were arriving Shirley, June and I had an exciting game of croquet. We just had met the gathering when Frank and Mary came to take us to the show. We’re staying at their house tonight.
Jane's Notes: They seem to be following present day Route 66 and I-44.
