(it was green) playing "travel agent" with random brochures we had taken from a rest stop that helped instill such a love for planning trips...who knows...but the Wilcox sisters love to plan themselves a trip....but I digress...
I have decided every once in a while to fill you in about what I love about places that we are lucky enough to spend time in...and the place of the month happens to be St. Louis (in case you didn't catch my oh so catchy title!)
I went to college in Missouri and a number of my college girlfriends live in St. Louis ,so we make it into town 1-2x a year. As I get older I appreciate more and more things the city has to offer....(read: We now have children and are going to more places than just bars...it is very family friendly!). So now what you have all been waiting for my list of things I love about St. Louis...in no particular order(St. Louis girls--I'm sure I'm leaving a fave out)....if you find yourself west of the Mississippi, standing near a metal "arch", you should check these places out!
