St. Louis Trip

We took a trip to St. Louis!  It was so fun and a great place for families.  While there we walked through the art museum - ok we used the parking garage but we had to go into the lobby so we did see some of the art.  St. Louis was a half way meeting point for some friends and we spent the weekend exploring that area together.  We met up with Chung's at the zoo (which was free!!) and spent the afternoon walking around talking and looking at the animals.  Jay had done some research at had a bunch of food places we needed to try out.  That night we went to SugarFire and Ted Drewes and they were both amazing.  The next morning we loaded up and headed to the Gateway Arch.  It was really foggy when we showed up but it cleared up by the time we were leaving.  After that we headed over to City Museum which was so fun - if you are anywhere near you should go!! While I wasn't able to do much in the museum it was so fun to watch the girls enjoy themselves.  It would have been great for older kids too!

Our last day together we hit up the St. Louis Adventure Science Center (which is also free!) for a morning of fun before we headed to SeoulTaco to fill up before heading out. 

This year we asked the girls if we could plan a trip for their birthdays - this was Molly's birthday trip.

Celebrating New Years with friends and other fun things

We have really enjoyed getting to hang out with family and friends a lot since we moved back to the states.  So we kept up the trend for New Year's and visited with friends who visiting their family just down the road.  Two years ago we met up with them in Bali and this year in Alabama! 

While the girls had a long break from school we took many day trips and overnight trips instead of one big trip.  We enjoyed getting to explore the area we live in and see all the many great cities around us.  On the yucky days we did lots of crafts indoors and even found an indoor pool to keep us entertained for a few hours.
