We stayed in the same hotel as the Utah/Colorado Johnsons so we could spend more time with Nick's family. On Sunday, they headed back west, and we did a couple things we love and miss from St Louis before we headed home. There are so many people and things about St Louis we love, there's no way to fit them into one visit. We didn't visit or even tell anyone we would be there because our visit was so short and dedicated to the purpose of spending time with Nick's family.
Our hotel was a mile away from the Butterfly house, so we started our adventure there. We then drove to the Magic House (an awesome Children's museum). I took the kids inside for two hours while Nick slept in the car so he'd be ready to drive us home.
The most special even was attending the Missouri Botanical Garden's first ever lighted evening holiday event, the Garden Glow. I will admit I cried because it's so beautiful and I miss the garden so much. Their annual Holiday train show was at the same time, so we were able to see it too. It really was a beautiful evening, and I am so grateful Nick let us do it even though it meant we got home at midnight and he had to get up so early to go to work the next morning.
