Turtle Park

After the visit to the Arch, we only had a short time to do all of the rest of the things we wanted to do. After eating at Fitz's again, we made a pit stop at Turtle Park near the zoo to run around and take more photos. The last time we were at the park, we were the only ones there, but it was packed this time. (We also got a nice view of the major highway project happening right next to Forest Park. Even though it was going around the park, it was still an unpleasant reminder of the road that almost got built through Overton Park.)

Anyways, I love this little spot. There are no slides or jungle gyms, just turtles. (Ok and one snake.) It's fun watching the kids find ways to play on/in the structures. I wish we had something like this in Memphis.

Unfortunately that ended up being a bit of a theme over the weekend. However, we agreed that we'd probably take all of the great things St. Louis has for granted if we lived there. Warren and I also joked that if Missouri was going to spend the money having 3000 billboards devoted to Anti-Abortion messages along the highway they sure better have a family friendly city!
