St Louis Train Ride & Union Station

We went to St Louis with some of Susan's family for a few days. We took Amtrak and had a great time.

Bungee jumping/flipping in Union Station was quite a hit with the kids.

St Louis Day 2 City Museum

We had an awesome time at The City Museum. We have never been to any place like this. There was so much to do and I am positive we even missed a few things. There were holes to climb in and caves to climb through, slides, ball pits and so much more. We spent most of the day there and had a great time.

St Louis Day 3 The Arch

Walking to the Arch

Taking a rest, it was so hot and humid we were all pretty soaked when we got there.

Our whole group 9 adults and 17 kids (my parents, our family and 3 sisters and their families)



We all had a great time at the Arch, it was under a two mile walk from our Hotel on a really hot day but we managed to get there with all 17 kids in decent time.

Another Amtrak train we met in the middle of nowhere. We had to stop and let the lady that was on her phone and missed her stop get out so she could get back to her stop on that train.
