Gateway Arch Riverfront, St. Louis, Missouri
I was totally unprepared for how stunning the Gateway Arch is on a sunny day. The stainless steel shone brightly in the sunlight, sparks seeming to shoot from the angles as the sun hit them just right. I was happy just sitting beneath the arch enjoying the vertigo as I watched the clouds float swiftly […]
Drury Plaza Hotel at the Arch, St. Louis, Missouri
To say my girls were impressed by the Drury Plaza Hotel would be an understatement. Brenna said it best, I think, when she said, “It’s like a palace!” Well, it may not be a palace but it surely doesn’t look like the hat factory it once was. As you enter your eye is instantly drawn […]
St. Louis Zoo in Forest Park
Who doesn’t love a zoo? St. Louis has an amazing free zoo in Forest Park, one of the largest urban parks in the US. We spent a very enjoyable afternoon here. Although the zoo is free street parking is sparse and it will cost you $11 to park in either the north or south lots. […]
Eating Around St. Louis, Missouri
We had barely three days in St. Louis. That’s not a lot of time to get out and try all the food St. Louis has to offer so I put out an plea and received a few recommendations. Other spots were chosen for their location to our activities. Here’s where we ate during our explorations: […]
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 fancy playground […]
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!). Tours are free, first come first served. We didn’t have […]
The Magic House, St. Louis, Missouri, USA
Photos from the Magic House website: the original house to the right and the expansion below. The Magic House came highly recommended to us by my cousin who remembers visiting when he was a child and now takes his kids there when they visit St. Louis. The Magic House is a sprawling, interactive children’s museum. […]
Our Trip to St. Louis
Gateway Arch viewed while laying on ground below Thanks to the generosity of the St. Louis CVC my family spent 2 1/2 days in a city I probably wouldn’t have ever thought to visit. And now… We anticipate our next trip! I was, honestly, amazed at all St. Louis had to offer- and much of […]
Our 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. Thursday evening: Leave […]
