We took the boys downtown this afternoon. It was our first time at Crown Center since we moved here. We had a great time!
 |
| Downtown is full of art. Everywhere you turn you see something odd! |
 |
| After lunch, our first stop was The Candy Shoppe |
 |
| Then it was on to the Crayola store |
 |
| This was my entry... |
 |
| Cade... |
 |
| Riley's... |
 |
| And the butt kissing winner... |
 |
| It's all about timing when you run through the fountains on a cold windy day! |
 |
| Next we hit the Hallmark Museum. What a fun, interactive place. I could have spent hours reading and looking at everything...but that will have to be another day. |
 |
| This was a bow making machine. You push a button and it makes a bow like this... |
 |
| A soon as you stepped in front of the tv it picked out a few heads to "crown" and then it took a picture. |
 |
| and another one...then it asked if you wanted to email it to yourself! |
 |
| Next we headed over to Union Station |
 |
| Union Station from the outside. |
 |
| The ceiling in Union Station is AMAZING! |
 |
| Next time we head downtown we are going to visit the WW1 Memorial Museum. |
 |
| Boston is turning into a regular fotog! |
 |
| We did drive into the Electric & Light District... but the boys were tired by then and not in the mood to stop. |
Next trip...The Plaza, WW1 and the E&L District!
Loved these pictures. When I was in 6th grade, my elementary school took us on a field trip to the Crayola Store. : ) Did you see the WW1 monument at night? There is usually a flame at the top. Across from the memorial is the Permorming Arts building where they have lots of good plays, too. For our 9th anniversary, we stayed in the Lights District at the Hotel Phillips. You really need to visit the Plaza and see the fountains! : ) Also, the Nelson Atkins Museum of Modern Art. It is downtown. Amazing!!! I lived in that area for only 5 years, but it is my "hometown". : )

Looks like you all had a great time! We have a Union Station here in STL as well but I am pretty sure the ceiling doesn't look like that. Next time I go I will have to look up!
