You can find me in St. Louey...Missouri. As close as the state is and as many {failed} attempts as I’ve made to make it there, it was still a state that I needed to check off my list on my quest to see all 50 states.
My little Brighton man has been itching to go to a Cubs game but Chicago was out of the way question for a short 36 hour trip. With the kids sports schedules and now being back in school, the window of opportunity was small. So we capitalized on a three day weekend and headed west to St. Louis on a Saturday afternoon.
We enjoyed a great baseball game where the Cubs battled against the Cardinals {but feel slightly short of a W}. We of course indulged in all the ballpark fun including hot dogs, pretzels, & ice cream. The ballpark lit up at night with fireworks blasting for home runs made for a fun evening!
The next day we enjoyed some St. Louis tourist attractions at Union Station. The set up is incredibly kid friendly and weather proof with indoor spaces available. The other kids would definitely love it so we will be making a trip back someday! Brighton and I enjoyed the aquarium {a very unique experience with lots of interactive exhibits}, the carousel, the Ferris Wheel, mini golf & the maze of mirrors {a tribute to when the World Fair was held there}.
We truly had a great weekend! I am so glad I was able to share some one on one time with Brighton while exploring a new city & state that I’ve never visited!
