Heading North

Hello, all!

We had a great time in St. Louis. We were there visiting the newly engaged Kate and Adam. Our time in there went by in a blink. We were only there for 3 days and had so much on our plates to do. Jess and Lisa met us in St. Louis so the six of us could hand out. Which was an awful lot of fun because we were all staying in Kate and Adam's very "cozy" one bedroom apartment. Originally we had planned on meeting Jonathan and Meghan too, but schedules didn't work out and we missed them by a few hours. Which is probably for the better, since the only available sleeping space in the whole apartment was in the bathroom.

We did a lot of walking around St. Louis and saw the arch (of course!) which is always a magnificent sight. But by far, the best thing we saw was the City Museum (www.citymuseum.org). It is this wonderful hands-on museum in downtown St. Louis where you can touch, climb on, crawl through, slide, and literally get lost in the exhibits. It's really less museum and more huge playground. It was loads of fun.

Other than walking around St. Louis and playing at the City Museum, we spent most of our time hanging out at the apartment with friends we wont get to see for two years. We barbequed, watched movies, and played on Adam's Wii Fit.

Goodbye Kate, Adam, Jess, and Lisa! We'll miss you all!
