I took so many pictures in and around Cape Girardeau and I’m just realizing that many will not make it into individual blog posts. These are photos of the historic downtown, the riverfront, and other places we visited that became favorites.

Part of another mural. In case you don’t know where Cape Girardeau is.
Cape Girardeau truly is charming and I hope my photos have done it justice. My family and I absolutely enjoyed our time there.
My family’s trip to Cape Girardeau was provided by Cape Girardeau CVB and its partners. All words and opinions, as always, are my own.
Wow, all neat photos. I love the Courthouse on the hill.
Thanks, Raul!
I love these Norman Rockwell type of towns. Sadly, they’re becoming fewer and farther in between… I didn’t expect to find a town named “Cape” in Missouri!

Oh, Lucia is growing up so fast! Such a cute photo of her. I really love the mill photo, too. What a cool-looking town.

I just love Small Town America, especially if there are train tracks… Such cute pictures. And Lucia looks like a seasoned traveler!

Yes, there definitely is something about Small Town America… Lucia doesn’t care where we travel. She loves to just GO!
More greatness from the little river town just up the road from me in Memphis. You’re teaching me about Cape!
