Vacation 2008 - St. Louis

Well, it is always great to go on vacation, but it is also good to be back home. We went to St. Louis and did some sightseeing:

The first day there, we went to Hard Rock Cafe for supper. While we waited, we strolled around union station.

Day two in St. Louis, we headed down to the arch. It really is an amazing structure. To get up the arch, they load you in these little round elevator like things. There isn't much room in these, so if you are claustrophobic, it probably isn't for you. Then when you get to the top it is an amazing view. The kids thought it was awesome. Then you load back in the elevator things and head for the bottom.

After visiting the arch, we went to a place called "City Museum". It was the craziest thing you have ever seen. The place is several mazes and climbing areas that are all made out of scrap metal and junk. I think the kids had a great time there. There was an old junk airplane that the kids could climb up to, slides, and other climbing areas and mazes.

The next day we went to the zoo, it was hot and a lot of walking but it was a nice zoo.

The last day in St. Louis, we went to the children's museum, called The Magic House. They have a separate play area for little kids, so while Marty and the older three played, Braden and I went to the little kid area. Then, outside of the museum, they had a "beach" area set up and the kids played in the sand.
