Q: Where have bạn been lately that bạn liked hoặc were surprised by?
A: We went to St. Louis to visit family that had just moved from Los Angeles. The last time I was there I was 10 years old. Of course I remember the St. Louis Arch, but that's about it. I never expected it to be as cosmopolitan as it was. The kids loved the amusement park/playground called The City Museum. It was certainly a highlight for big kids and little kids alike. We were also surprised bởi the wonderful restaurants. A special one that comes to mind for breakfast in downtown St. Louis is called Rooster. Definitely sample the Sô cô la chip crêpe and I suggest bạn feed it to your kids in the morning before bạn go to the City Museum. This way they can work off all the Sô cô la before bạn go home. I would also recommend bữa tối, bữa ăn tối at family-owned Amigos Cantina in Kirkwood, Mo. Ask for my nephew Michael to serve you.
