MoDOT completed the new Highway 40/I-64, and to celebrate they opened up the highway to pedestrians and bicyclists for one day before opening it up to vehicles. I did not want to miss an opportunity to walk on the highway, and the boys were giddy about the chance to ride the shuttle bus. We walked on westbound 40/64 (bicyclists filled the eastbound lanes) from the Hampton entrance ramp to the Tamm Avenue overpass where an American flag flew from the raised ladders of a pair of firetrucks parked on each side of the highway.
Quinn took off running down the middle lane toward the firetruck.
Will enjoying the view from atop the median.
Quinn taking it all in while laying in the far right lane.
One of many dogs who walked the highway, Giz the Terrier came to the celebration appropriately dressed in hard hat and reflective vest.

I sooooooo wanted to go to this, but Sylvia slept from 1-4 that day! I was slightly annoyed, but I can't hate her for being an awesome napper (unlike some little 1 year old!!).
Thanks for the link you posted on my blog! I cannot wait to show this to our guys!
Your boys are adorable too!
