The Steele Family Adventures: St. Louis

Greetings from Eureka, Missouri! (St. Louis area) We have had a crazy couple of weeks; we made an unplanned trip to Utah, and then flew out to St. Louis where we are now going to be living for the next few weeks. We have only been here for a few days but we like it so far. The only bad thing is the water. It's disgusting, like I can't even brush my teeth with it. It's kind of thick and slimy tasting, barf! So we are keeping the fridge full of bottled water. The weather is crazy too

, yesterday it was cool enough that we wore jackets all day but Sunday it was so hot and humid we couldn’t go outside. We left the Subaru back home so the stroller is me and Lennon’s main form of transportation these days. Luckily there is a park, grocery store, and ice cream shop within walking distance. What more could we need. The park is one of the nicest parks I’ve been to, it’s really new and big and Lennon loves it. There are a lot of things we are excited to do and explore with our time here; I almost wish we could stay a little longer to be able to see it all. The zoo and a few museums are free, they are all pretty close together and there is a trolley that runs all day between them. It’s only $2 for a day pass on the trolley and it stops at about 8 different places so I’m thinking that might be what we do this weekend. We already tried to go to the zoo on Sunday but as I mentioned, it was such a hot muggy day and we couldn’t stand to be out, neither could the animals. The only animal we actually saw was an elephant. So we’ll give that one another try earlier in the day. We went to Ted Drewe’s Frozen Custard. Several people told us it was the one place we just had to go to. It was seriously AMAZING! I can see why so many people love it.
