St. Louis (part three)

Wednesday in St. Louis started in a very normal way.....

The girls got to practice with a local swim club.  The pool was AMAZING!  After practice, we went to St. Louis Bread Company for breakfast.  It was really good~ and outside of St. Louis, the rest of the world knows it at Panera Bread! 
We went to the transportation museum.  Lots of very cool "old" stuff!  Clay totally LOVED it!  There were some really cool stories but my favorite was about this motel on route 66!  
 Clay loves old trains!  I will have to say I do TOO!!
 ONE of the COOLEST!  This is a snow blower!

After a pretty warm morning of looking at different modes of transportation, everyone was very hungry and ready for something cool and fizzy!  So we headed to the FAMOUS Fitz's Restaurant!  Home of the Rootbeer!  YUMMO!!!!
Rootbeer started here in 1947! 

After a wonderfully filling lunch, we had plans to go to the zoo, but it was still so hot!  Clay said that he thought we would not see a lot of animals....so we decided to put that on the top of the NEXT TRIP to St. Louis List!  So we went to the Museum of Missouri History! It was very cool!  Going to the World's Fair in Knoxville when I was younger, I LOVED the history behind the 1904 World's Fair! 

Loved this artwork of the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair!

Loved the Charles Lindbergh portion of the museum. 
For this to be a plan B, there were no complaints!

Girls posing for a picture in Forest Park!

After leaving Forest Park, we met the St. John family at their country club swim meet.  It was tons of fun watching them swim....until the bottom fell out!  This would be our last night in St Louis and with the St John family but not for long!!!!
