Going Home

Before leaving St. Louis, we decided to spend a little more time checking out downtown. Mimi, Poppy, and Rebecca started home. The five of us ate brunch at Rooster then walked to the Old Courthouse. The building is beautiful and the history of St. Louis is pretty interesting.

Next, I wanted to check out the Old Cathedral. The kids had a lot of questions about Catholicism. It was interesting to walk through the museum and see the artifacts and read about the religion. We went inside the cathedral but didn't stay long because mass was about to start.

We also made a quick stop to see the World's Fair Pavilion. It would have been nice to explore some more but we were ready to get on the road.

The drive home was fun. We stopped in Walnut Ridge at Beatles Park and visited the guitar walk. What a cool detour! Of course, we also had to stop at Bald Knob and have burgers and shortcake at the Bulldog Restaurant. 

We had a great week in St. Louis but were SO happy to be home. There's nothing like it!
