Since I live in St. Louis, Missouri, I thought I would make a page with a few things that I love to do here in my own city. This page will be set up slightly different than the other pages since I won’t be doing a day by day account of home base, but I just want to highlight some of the fun and different things that I do while I’m not travelling.
Keep on reading for updates on our life in the Midwest!
