Destination: St. Louis! (Part 1)

Since Spring Break around these parts no longer lasts a full week, it limits our options as to where we can go.. This year, we decided to make the five hour drive to St. Louis. The forecast in St. Louis for the week before and the week after was a wonderful 70 degrees. While we were there... a balmy 35. YEAH.

Our first stop was the National Transportation Museum. It consists of mostly trains, which the kids thought was really cool - BUT, it is a mostly outdoor experience, and considering it started to snow like crazy while we there - cool took on a whole new meaning.



Even though it was still chilly, the sun was shining the next morning, so we hit the ARCH. Obviously, a must-see. The kids really liked looking out the top (which actually made me feel a little carsick).


After that, we hit the Science Museum. We spent over five hours there! The kids were able to build model arches and bridges out of all kinds of different materials. We saw 'Tornado Alley' at the IMAX (awesome), and visited the Grossology exhibit.

Hmmm I wonder if I could install one of these in our house to help with the electricity bill?
