A “let’s get out of the house!” adventure
We’d been home all day & everybody was getting crabby. “Let’s take the Metrolink to the Arch!” Steven offered. So, off we went! Everybody but Maya got over their crabbiness. This might have had something to do with the putrid smell coming from her pants. Avery was wide eyed. Even I was excited, though this wore off a bit after holding squirming Maya for the duration. But I cheered after our unplanned side trip to Macy’s (Avery had a potty emergency–oh, the tyranny of poop and pee!)—the deserted downtown branch actually had cool Christmas clearance ornaments left. So, we even got souvenirs! Steven said it best when we rode home in the dark, cold.. “It had its’ highlights”. Overall, a grand adventure!
Avery’s summary of our adventures: “I liked the train, but it was a little too long.”
A side note: the putrid pants smell was a mystery, as we checked and couldn’t find the source.

Posted 9 months, 2 weeks agoi love a spontaneus trip! you guys are brave with such little ones. you are really gonna love it when your kids are more portable. glad you went for it!
we took the kids to the marriot across from the arch once…ran in to a homeless lady with one eye in a wheel chair…can’t remember her creepy catch phrase, but she really scared the kids. we were there the night of some big ball game, too. the kids played on the lawn at the arch, we rode up the arch (yak! once was enough for me) and visited the cool museum there.
you gotta love the flava of the inner city! ps)your girls are so cute and i swear avery and sophie look so much alike to me!
