Day 5 - museum day

Saturday is always pancake morning in our home.  Brett and the girls have made them almost every weekend for years now.  But, we will be hitting the road first thing in the morning, so the pancakes arrived a day early.
 

 
Today it rained all day.  A perfect day for hitting the museums!  We started off with the St. Louis Science Center.  It is huge with tons of hands on activities for the kids.  I think everyone agrees that this was our favorite stop in St. Louis. 
 


 
After that, we went to the history center.  This is at the location of the 1904 Worlds Fair.  It was interesting to learn all about it and take a step back in time.  (Sorry, no flash photos were allowed here, so I didn't take any.)
 
Finally, we headed back over to Illinois to see the Cahokia Mounds.  The girls loved the life-size village that was set up in the information center.  Unfortunately, it was pouring, so we didn't get out to walk the trails and explore the mounds.  I did snap a few photos of them (and "woodhenge") as we drove by though.
