cblj_backupSo yes. Did not die at the City Museum, despite the fact that it has MANY OPPORTUNITIES. It's filled with sharp pointy things and narrow tunnels and stairs and small children to trip over.
I did have a total blast despite near death, and despite all my bruises this morning. The attention to detail is stunning -- everything has another thing inside it or on top of it. Tiny little details and things you have to step back to see. I can see why it's so popular and beloved. I mean, the ten-storey slide doesn't hurt (though the nine flights of stairs you have to climb kind of do). We were there with a five year old, which is a great excuse to do all kinds of stuff, so we did the giant slide and explored the caves and climbed up to the big scrapped airplane which still has bits of cockpit intact, went through the wire tunnel (BRUISES) and saw the shoelace-making machine and bought shoelaces. Also we got eyeballed by the giant catfish, holy crap.
We also hit up Crown Candy Kitchen, which is apparently a St. Louis landmark and does serve the best grilled cheese sandwich I have maybe ever had. Plus, malteds!
Then we had MOVIE NIGHT and I got to see some old friends I hadn't seen in a while, and will be seeing even more this afternoon for a potluck. Though admittedly I did drift off a few times during the movie. It was a good movie, I was just Very Tired.
I took more photos than I posted, but you can see the ones I posted to instagram if you check @ouija_sam on twitter for the last day. Including my super-cool new shoelaces which, because I am an ADULT, a GROWN MAN, I definitely did not pick due to them being Iron Man colours.
