I gave him his options last week and Owen made his choice. Interestingly enough, everything he wanted to do involved a return visit. Turns out Owen has been doing lots of thinking about our Spring Break trip to St. Louis last March, thinking about all he did (and didn't do) and mustering up his courage should he ever get the chance again.
Day one of our trip took us back to the City Museum. It's a very big place. A crazy place. And I can see why he wanted to come back. There are so many things to explore and courage is needed for almost everything.
Making my second visit, I'm still as impressed as ever with the architecture and artsy-ness of everything inside and out. It's a wonderland! What you'd get if Gaudi were designing ball pits and slides.
Speaking of the ball pit ... Owen has no problem getting into this thing and pelting complete strangers. It's hilarious! And he gets as good as he gives. We made three stops there during the day.
We also did a lot of climbing. This wrecked out plane was a favorite place of Owen's the last time we were there.
I also made my first trip to the City Museum's third floor, home of the world's largest pencil (see eraser below). Up there we also got Owen on a rideable model train, explored the skate-park-quality slides and took in a very fun mini circus.
Later on in the day, we found ourselves back on Delmar Avenue for a gluten free pizza at Pi. But we were also smart enough to save room for some frozen custard at Ted Drewes, a St. Louis institution. It's a tremendous dessert, this visit made even better by a souvenir MLB batting helmet cup.
What a great day!
