St. Louis

Only a week separated Chicago from St. Louis, but I was more than happy to be traveling again!

I had never been to Missouri so I wanted to add another state to my list while doing some fun things along the way. :)

First and foremost... The Gateway Arch.

Had to go and get some shots of this beauty! 

Tip: St. Louis is ridiculously hot in the summer and the humidity makes everything worse! There were things we wanted to do outside (like the zoo) but decided against them due to the heat. Maybe the fall or spring would be a better time to visit...?

The City Museum was also on my list. City museum is a big playhouse-type museum for adults just as much as kids. (I liked the sound of that!) So much of the museum is made out of repurposed architectural and industrial objects. 

There was plenty of climbing, crawling, and exploring!

I'm a fan of hamster wheels :)

And spinny chairs 

They had a fun rope swing as well.

Last but not least... Shout out to this amazing strawberry kiwi slush! It was so refreshing after the workout we had! And very yummy!! 

I only wish I could go back and have the whole place to myself! (And a group of my friends, of course!) There was so much to do and see... I could have gotten lost in there for hours. I don't know how parents with young children do it... Too many places for kids to get lost in and too many ways to get hurt, but the best place for adults to be kids again!
