A glazed donut from Mel-O-Cream seemed like a fitting way to say good-bye to Springfield. Our schedules did not mesh so I sadly was not able to meet Springfield correspondent Marie. Next time! All the Lincoln sights were given Marie's seal of approval, as was Frank Lloyd Wright's marvelous Dana-Thomas House. As we were warned, the house was closed for renovation (since re-opened) but was fun to see from the outside.
It was time to hit the mother road to St. Louis.
Love those donuts, which are undefeated in the donut wars, by the way. In these parts, anyway.

It was a good donut. I really didn't need to eat a ponyshoe an hour later, but what's a tourist to do?
