travel up (or down south) the river road that run along the Mississippi River (Illinois side), the leaves changing their colors along the road on the way are amazing, plus there are a few places to stop, grab a bite to eat, and even perhaps a ferry (it may no longer be in service) where you can cross the river back to the MO side, and eventually get home via Interstate 70.

It's a nice short round trip to enjoy...
