Logan did well on his first long road trip, we went to St. Louis to see Great-Grandpa & Great-Grandma Swann and he had a great time! We had a busy first day. We had Dunkin Donuts for breakfast, it was Jeff & Logan's first time in a Dunkin....wish we had one closer to where we live, but alas, no such luck! Then we were off to the St. Louis Zoo! Logan decided to fall asleep 1/2 way through and slept the remainder of the way.

The hyena with his (or her) dinner
And Logan sleeping with Grover and his cup....don't mind my hand lol. He picked Grover over Elmo and Cookie Monster and he really enjoys playing with him, granted he's never seen Sesame Street but he still likes him.
We had lunch at the zoo, which Logan slept through. And got to pet stingrays while we were there, Logan just watched them, but Jeff & I petted them, it was a very unusual experience. One really liked to be petted and pushed up into my hand so I really got to feel his musculature which was awesome!
Then we went to the Missouri History Museum and saw the Vatican Splendors....it was interesting, we asked Great-Grandma Carmella if she had been to see it and her response was "No, but I've been to the Vatican." So we wandered through there and also the rest of the museum, got to see the Spirit of St. Louis and Charles Lindbergh exhibit plus the exhibit on the St. Louis World Fair. But no cameras were allowed in the museum, I almost got tackled by a curator for putting on lip gloss (which they didn't say wasn't allowed by the way) so we didn't try to sneak any pictures lol.
We also went to the Arch at night after we tried to go to Ted Drewe's but they were wrapped around the building at Ted Drewe's so we didn't stop, then we ended up on the bad side of town by accident and left very very quickly before finding the Arch. The Arch at night is amazing!
My camera just didn't do it justice.
We also went to White Castle (yum!) and both Jeff & Logan had their first White Castle!

"Look Logan, it's your size!"
"Here Mommy, you hold it and feed it to me."
"This is pretty good!"
Our second day we spent the day visiting with family and had IMO Pizza for lunch, the pizza was pretty good, different but good. We had a great time, I wish I hadn't let the camera get packed the second day because I didn't get any pictures of family! But we'll make another trip before too long.
