Super Benny Day 1

Well I hitched a ride with Sven and Riza and kiddos to Metropolis, IL.  As most of you know Sven is a HUGE Superman fan and they were going to check out the Superman Festival.  Sven's brother Wes happened to hitch a ride too.  I have to say he did a pretty good job keeping the kids in line, that mostly consisted of feeding them multiple snacks, and watching hours of DVD's.  The ride was long but not too bad only about 4 hours.  We had a little wiring problem on the way down, the lights on their trailer stopped working due to a minor meltdown.  Of course thanks to me everything is back working now (seriously I don't know how they traveled without me before).  

Sven and Riza actually fed me this trip, no one else does.  We had a wonderful picnic lunch at Ft. Massic Park.  After some bad directions from Talulah (the GPS navigator) it took us a little longer to find our camp site then we planned, but never fear Benny saved the day.  I flew ahead and scouted around until I spotted it.  Then it was back to Metropolis for the Festival.  We saw a huge Superman statue, and got to look through the Museum.  There were lots of vendors and yummy food to eat.  

After the Festival we headed back to Kentucky and had a really good dinner out, at O'Charlies, I even had them take a picture to prove that they take better care of me.  

Here's some pictures, we'll post more when we can.
