St. Louis


Mike and I went to St Louis this past weekend with Brad and Rachel for a conference about eating disorders at Covenant Seminary. We drove up on thursday night so that we could actually get to see some of the city on friday before we had our friday night meeting. Mike and I stayed with some friends from CLemson that are at Covenant right now. Covenant was pretty but much smaller than I had thought it to be because of the huge reputation it has in PCA circles, I guess that is what makes the community so great at it.
We got in late on thursday night so Mike and I both slept in on friday. Later Brad showed us around and we got to see some extremely beautiful neighborhoods and all of the fun free activities you can do there. (Rachel was hanging out with one of her good girlfriends and Addie spent the first full weekend with her grandparents) We went to the zoo and of course we went to the Arch. There is a park in downtown St Louis that is bigger than the Central Park and has million things to do for free and this was where the zoo was. Unfortunaly we didnt get to go to the Science, Art, or history museum which would have been interesting I think. There is also a huge amphitheatre that has plays every weekend in the summer with some of the best broadway shows. The trip seemed really quick as we left Saturday afternoon after the conference, but it is nice to have Sunday to recoperate before this next week gets started.
