We made the trek south.... to St. Louis for a quick weekend trip.
This is what we did.
Crossed into Missouri.
Missouri History Museum.
Adam hearts Thomas Jefferson. Learned all kinds of history about St. Louis.
St. Louis Zoo.
Who says you have to have kids to enjoy the animals? Great Zoo. Hot day. Muggy, humid day. Busy day. Worth it... and I loved that it was free. (Those are giraffes in the background of my picture... a bear in Adams. We had to get a couple of pics to document we actually went to the zoo).
Cardinals vs. LA Dodgers Baseball Game.
We were pretty pumped about this til we got to the game and realized our seats were in the blazing hot sun. I've been to quite a few baseball games and this topped it for being the most HOT and HUMID. Everyone was literally dripping, more like pouring sweat. Not a pretty sight people. After the 3rd inning I had had enough of the sun and was determined to find some extra seats in the shade so we could actually enjoy the game(and so Adam's poor face wouldn't get more fried than it already was). It took a few innings to find some decent shaded seats(that were vacant) but we did.... and at last we were able to enjoy the last 3-4 innings. Notice in the pics how drenched in sweat we are. Yes disgusting.... and I should be embarrassed to share these pics but it is what it is. I want to remember the day like it was.... sweat and all. Overall a great hot day at the ballpark!
It's a beautiful ballpark.
The Arch!
I had been once before up in the arch when I was in elementary school but this was Adam's first time visiting St. Louis so we took the tram to the top.

Us at the top! Great views of St. Louis.
St. Louis was an awesome city and we had a great time. I wished that we would have had more than a day to see and explore it all!

I'm sad we weren't still back there to see you, but it looks like you guys had a good time in St. Louis. Can't wait to see you in just a couple more weeks. (Henry had fun looking at your blog and was determined that it was a pig standing behind Adam, not a bear)
I loved St. Louis! We saw the Cardinals and Dodgers play when we went too! How funny. :)
You are so lucky to be able to go to so many new places! Enjoy it!
It sounds like we did a lot of the same things (zoo, arch--although we didn't go up, and game). Yes, it was the HOTTEST and SWEATIEST I've ever been just sitting there. We weren't enterprising enough to go and find shaded seats. That would've been a wise idea. Fun times!
So glad to see you are doing the state line pictures. :) You guys are having so many fun adventures. It sure does look like it was boiling hot! We need to chat soon!
Love you guys! I'm excited to see you in about a week!
Wish I could have been there. Instead I was hot and sweaty doing yard work. :)
