We walked up and down the cobblestone streets, along the Missouri River, looking in the quaint little shops. Many of the buildings there date as far back as the 1700s! Lewis & Clark, famous American explorers, started out here. It's only ten minutes from my house, but I always seem to forget it's there. It's definitely a little vacation away from home and a great place I like to take out-of-town guests.
After the shopping excursion, she left and Katie, Emily, and I met their dad at the post office to apply for passports for the girls. No, we don't know where we're going! But I want to be ready when the opportunity arises!

That sounds like a lovely little place to visit. Had to laugh at the name of the restaurant ;oD. If you decide to go long haul and come this way, let me know!!
I love historical stuff, and have always enjoyed roaming St. Louis. I am going to have to see that restaraunt next time I am there. I want to bring the kids up to the Cahokian Mounds too. Maybe after Jack gets hired somewhere I can sneak away for a weekend and wander up that way!
And I meant to say... I can't wait to see where you go with the passports! :0)
sounds like a lovely day :)
Hey! Thanks for coming back!
Have you eaten at Miss Aimee B's? It's a divine little spot in St. Charles, as well. Off the strip, though - more up First Capitol.
hey there! I have a blog award for you over at my blog :)
