We woke up in St Louis, Missouri this morning and were excited to head out and explore the city.
We started out with breakfast at Half & Half, a trendy little restaurant which serves breakfast in the morning and then turns in to a completely different restaurant with a new name in time for dinner.
Tom ordered the most amazing pancakes and I had tasty granola with a side of cornbread.
There was a fish riding a bike in the park nearby.
We then took a tour of the Anheuser-Busch Factory where they make Budweiser.
It was a little different from all the craft brewery tours we love to go on, with the aim to make beers for the mass market with a taste everyone will enjoy.
It was free though and we were given free beer at the end which made us happy. I tried a black cherry beer and apple & cinnamon beer which were surprisingly nice.
After the tour we went to Fitz Soda which was far more my cup of tea.
Fitz make their own sodas and you can watch them being bottled in their restaurant.
Tom tried a coffee cola and I had their famous root beer.
We also tucked in to a plate of bottle cap shaped fried pickles.
In the evening we went to the City Museum which is open until midnight on the weekends.
It was more like a theme park than a museum with things to play with everywhere.
Instead of using the stars you could go down slides or climb up gigantic mesh climbing frames.
Some parts felt a little unsafe, such as a plane hanging off the side of the building which you could climb from the wing up to the wing of another plane.
There was a ferris wheel on the roof which gave us an amazing view over the city.
We ended our trip by sliding down the ten story slide from the roof to the bottom of the building.
