I'm in Eastern Missouri, and would really love to go, but I don't think I'll be able to talk my parents into a three hour drive just for a few rolls of new pennies...Sad face.

Sounds like an awesome educational field trip opportunity to me. Wish I were there and could still drive. I'd make that trip in a heartbeat.

Plan on taking the kids definitely, and if I can talk the Bro in law too, I will have 8 people getting pennies. :)

I took the tours there as a kid, Lincoln's house, tomb, the capital building, etc was pretty cool.
