The small town feeling is so welcoming. The view of the river is amazing. And, the amount of history here makes kids of all ages feel like there is a time long ago that would have been so amazing to experience. I've never been one to enjoy history, but when you are able to see and experience the sights and monuments, it makes it so real. So captivating.
The first evening we got there we went for a walk down to the River.
Mark Twain was a Steamboat Pilot
The Mississippi River
We had supper here the first night.
Belly's are full.
Samuel Clemens, aka Mark Twain's father's law office.
The town was bursting at the seams with charm.
The Lighthouse.
We went on a trolley ride around town.

The view from Lover's Leap was breathtaking. Hannibal is in the background.

We also got to see "The Unsinkable" Molly Brown's birthplace and museum.
Her trunk and clothes would have been similar to this when she was on the Titanic.
She was on her way to Hannibal when the Titanic sank.
We really enjoyed our visit to Hannibal and plan to return sometime soon to visit the cave's and maybe take a riverboat ride. There was so many things to do and see, with just not enough time.
The relaxing and slow pace of the town was a perfect getaway from the bustle that will be starting with school and fall activities just around the corner.
