We made it to St Louis about 11pm last night. It's funny how quickly a pile of snacks can disappear in the car in a few hours. Our hotel is nice and accomodates our large group very well. However the moderness of the clear glass shower is interesting.
Today the girls got to swim at the hotel pool and had fun. Then we went to the City Museum. I think it is my favorite place ever. Each time we go there they have something new to see or do. I think the title museum is misleading. This is not a place where you go to look at stuff. Each area is created with recycled stuff from factories, buildings, etc. There are places to climb, crawl through, and hide everywhere. The girls wanted to try everything and then do it again. Lexie and Morgan even went down the highest shoe chute slide. I think it is 5 stories high. We also took time before we left to explore art city to paint and create with clay.
After City Museum we went to supper at a resturant on Laclede's Landing. Hmm who was the idiot driver who thought leaving a museum at 5 to drive near the Arch was a good idea? But we made it eventually. Finally we went to the Arch. Hearing the girls comments as they finally saw it makes it all worth it. We even went up to the top to look down. Of course no trip to the Arch is complete without dipping our feet in the river below. The water is higher than the last time I was here and there is sand evidence that it was much higher. Katie liked the softness of the sand on the sidewalk.
So far things have went smoothly. Lets hope they continue. I will try to get the pictures to post, but if not then they will be posted when we get home.
