City Garden, St. Louis, Missouri
City Garden in downtown St. Louis is, quite possibly, one of the best sculpture parks I’ve ever seen. And that’s saying a lot because sculpture is really not “my thing”. But the way this park is set up and laid out you can easily forget that you are viewing sculpture- it’s more like [...]
Anheuser Busch Brewery Tour, St. Louis, Missouri, USA
Neither Doug or I drink beer but a “not be be missed” stop while in St. Louis is the Anheuser Busch brewery. Located just off of I-55 the brewery is very easy to get to and is a great stop for the family (yes, really!).

Out Itinerary to Explore St. Louis
We’ll be leaving soon for our exploration of St. Louis. We’re pretty excited as we have some fun things planned. It was difficult to choose what to do as there were more opportunities there than I imagined. We did narrow down our choices, though, and I think we have a “do-able” itinerary.

Salisbury House, Des Moines, Iowa, USA
Salisbury House viewed from the gardens
I’m not sure anyone would think to look in Des Moines, Iowa for a 15th century English manor. OK, building began in 1923, at least 400 years after its namesake was built, but the date makes the building no less impressive.
Carl Weeks and his wife Edith were in Salisbury, [...]
