City Museum

I decided early in our trip to stop in St. Louis after my sister-in-law Kristen mentioned that the City Museum was worth a visit.  Wow, was she right.  This place really isn't a museum; it's more of a mix between a playground built out of former industrial parts and an interactive art display.  Within just a few minutes Brian and I realized that keeping things in our pockets was a bad idea.  After climbing up into an enormous tree house, crossed with an under-the-sea themed whale, Brian and I were following the kids through a small spot.  Brian's wallet and the RV keys fell out of his pockets and dropped three stories down.  Brian could barely move, he was in such a tight spot.  We sent the boys, in different directions, to go and retrieve the items.  It was almost impossible to know how to get their quickly! A nice women had picked them up and was holding them until the boys arrived.  Reid won.

After that Brian went and put all our valuables back in the RV.  So I only have a few photos.  There were caves, a 10-story slide, an huge tree house structure, so many cool slides everywhere, lots of re-barb to climb, colorful mosaics on every surface, and reclaimed artifacts from all sorts of industry (printing, baking, etc.).  People who are experts at this place show up with head lamps and knee pads. A truly unique experience! If you are ever in St. Louis, you must go!  Here's a couple photos:
