I know this has taken me forever to finish. I am cleaning out the office today while Joe is out of town, so I had 3 hours to download the pictures(only a slight exaggeration!).
Joe's Brother and SIL took s to the Colts game while in St. Louis. It ws a lot of fun and since it was so close, there were a lot of colts fans there. Seats were great, and the company was too! It was a beautiful fall day. I love the Arch, I think it looks majestic.
We had to pry the kids off of the trampoline to leave- they love playing with their cousins!
In conclusion; If you want a family friendly, pocket book friendly, close by vacation, head to St. Louis.
Free: St. Louis science museum-very nice!, Purina Farms, St. Louis Zoo, St Louis Art Museum. There is beautiful scenery and parks everywhere.
For a fee: Looking at the Arch and the museum is free, but riding up in it costs a little.
The City Musseum was pricey, but worth it. One of a kind and so much to do and see. Kids loved it.
The Magic House- childrens museum- very hands on and fun.
Grants farm- we had a beautiful day, a lot of history there. Minimal cost. Looking at the Clydesdales is free and they are beautiful.
We are looking forward to the Reeds moving back next summer, but we have loved visiting too. Of course, they are our main attraction!
