My family and I recently came back from a trip to St Louis to meet up with a fellow "Baby Lady" for the first time. We got there late Friday night and when we met for the first time; it wasn’t awkward at all! We ran up to each other and hugged like old friends. My husband and kids were up in our room, but her husband witnessed our giddy embrace with rolled eyes. We got settled into our rooms at the Hyatt with an awesome view of the arch (Thank you Priceline.com) and rested up for a fun-filled weekend!
On Saturday morning, we headed to the local zoo (free admission) and spent the better half of the day wandering around looking at all the animals. For a free zoo (we did have to pay for parking), it was incredible! We took turns pushing babies in the strollers and teased each other for our bad stroller driving. One child may or may not have tried to climb a short fence to an animal enclosure… good thing it wasn’t the lions!
That evening we headed down to the arch to let the kids run around before dinner and they had a blast together!
We went to dinner at Angelo’s Taverna and it was delicious! Great wait staff, huge portions, good prices and delicious food. If you are ever in town, you should stop by. We had so much food that we couldn’t finish it all and we had to get dessert to go (hey, it’s vacation)!
Sunday morning we got up and loaded our cars up to leave the hotel, went and had breakfast at Denny’s and then headed to The Magic House! It was $9.50 a person and worth every red cent. We were there for 4 hours and didn’t see about a third of what they had to offer. What a neat place for kids and adults to play! They really do have tons of fun things to do and we could have easily been there all day.
They had a whole little town type of thing set up with a grocery store, bank, electric company, fishing pond, ice cream stand, car shop, library and a hospital nursery. It was so neat!
Zoey LOVED the water table!
Even the babies had fun together in the little baby play area!
What mother doesn’t dream of her child becoming president at least once? They have an Oval Office so you can see for yourself how cool they will look behind that desk. I’ll be making election buttons soon 
It truly was an awesome trip! I wish it had been longer, one weekend wasn’t long enough with such a fun family. Our oldest still talks about her friends and asks for them by name! It really felt like we had been friends for years and not just Internet friends that were meeting for the first time!
