Staycation Day 1

As a consequence of our canine commitments, an extended vacation this summer was not in the cards, so we decided to do a “staycation” this year. And since the kids haven’t seen many of the St. Louis landmarks, we figured this would be a good option for us. First up: a trip to the Arch. But we started with breakfast at the City Coffeehouse & Creperie in Clayton. If you haven’t tried it, you should make plans to have breakfast there sometime. It is delicious.
Then, because Noah loves trains, we took a ride on the Metrolink to get downtown. Despite the kids being a little scared on the tram ride to the top, they both seemed to enjoy it once we got up there, although Josie wasn’t really a fan of the view. We spent some time at the Museum of Westward Expansion in the basement of the Arch, and Noah tried his hand at roping. Josie was fading fast, so we didn’t get a chance to watch either of the movies (maybe next time). We hopped on the Metrolink and headed home. There are some pics in my album.
Next up: Six Flags, a Cardinals game, and ??? …
