[TGE-mail] state capital information for vacation planning

[Jeanette Mott Oxford]

Missouri’s Capital Offers Families
Many Options for Fun & Education

With the summer months upon us, I wanted to remind St. Louis residents
that the State Capitol is only a little more than 130 miles from St.
Louis and a great place to go for a day trip or a couple of days of
family vacation. Combine it with visits to other great vacation spots in
Missouri like Hannibal, Independence, Arrow Rock, and our many state
parks for a full week of vacation.

Here are some of the more popular Jefferson City locations, their hours,

excellent rating. And the girls' high school full orchestra placed first
with and excellent rating and earned a trophy for overall Outstanding
High School Orchestra. Senior Thrissa Skala received the Solo Citation
