St. Louis

For those of you who have not visited the show me state, it is quite an enjoyable experience. Seeing Buddy, Leann and Danny was, of course, the highlight. Their new rental home is nice, in a nice neighborhood, about 20 minutes from downtown St. Louis. They are always the most gracious of hosts. I am reminded once again why we do not have cable television. We would all have to pry ourselves away, or maybe just show some discipline.

We first visited the Arch. We even talked Uncle Buddy into going up with us. The kids did great. It was very busy, a holiday weekend and a rival footbal game in town. We hung out by the Mississsippi, had a snack and played some football. It was a beautiful night, fun with the family. Had pizza when we got back.
Joe and Buddy got up and played in a golf scramble while we relaxed at home, watched tv and walked the dog. We then went to the Science Museum. It was free, and it was very cool. Well worth the trip. All of the kids liked it. It was very interactive and educational. We came home and had a cookout and played around the house some more.
Monday we got up and Joe and Buddy played tennis and the kids played at the park with Aunt Leann. I stayed home with Amy. Very relaxing weekend.
For anyone looking for a cheap vacation, try St. Louis. Many free attrations, not too far from home. Just a nice city.
Aaron wrote a paper on it for school this week, precious.
