With saving money for a house in mind, we set off for a downtown StL "staycation." We dropped our stuff off at the hotel and headed out to lunch. After lunch we headed to the City Museum. It was so much fun there, almost too much to do, don't think we could have done it all in one day. I'm not sure if their favorite was the aquarium or the slides. Quinn was not a fan of the large blue macaw parrot, whenever it made it's super loud noise, she needed her daddy to hold her! Then we headed back to our hotel where the kids got to throw pennies in the wishing well in the lobby, who'd have thought that would be such a hit! Some of the wishes I heard were: our own house (specifically w/o spiders), to go to the "real" batcave and a real unicorn. We then put on our swimsuits and headed to the citygarden. What an amazing place. The kids had so much fun getting in and out of the fountains, swimming everywhere, and splashing all around in the bubblers. We stopped to have pizza and ice cream for dinner during our walk home and then we met "Chocolate"...he's a horse that pulls a carriage and we decided it was too nice of a night not ride on Chocolate and tour the city. So we went up to the room and showered the kids, put on their pj's, and headed back out to ride Chocolate. It was a beautiful night and a great 1st day of our "staycation." St. Louis has lots to offer right downtown that we never take advantage of. Tomorrow's agenda: Brody must try the hotel's biscuits and gravy that they offer for the free breakfast, believe it or not, it might be one of his highlights! Then maybe a quick tour of the arch, the zoo, lunch and then home. Mommy and Daddy are already exhausted!
