Three trips in 2012 - Trip 1 via Chicago, Illinois

Well, we made three trips to Aberdeen during 2012.

March 2012 - we flew into Chicago and drove down to Aberdeen.

On the way back we took a few days and travelled back to Chicago via St Louis, Missouri and Springfield, Illinois.

On our visit to St Louis we visited the Anheuser Busch brewery, home of Budweiser
