Mission Trip: Day 7

Mission Trip: Day 7 (June 25)

FUN DAY!!!

First stop: The City Museum! While that might seem mundane at first glance, it is anything but that! The City Museum has a 10 story slide, a roof with a ferris wheel, caves with tunnels of varying size lit by strobe lights, swinging ropes, adult sized ball pit, rebar tunnels 30 feet in the air, creative art projects, etc. etc. It was an adult play ground that offered so many fun things for people of all ages and sizes. The even greater part is that it was created out of recycled materials in a 12 story building.

For lunch we walked half a mile to the Union Station, a mall that was once the rail station. From there, we returned to the city museum for another hour of fun. Then it was off to the St. Louis Arch. We toured the museum below the arch and then ascended to the top where we were able to see the entire city on one side and the Mississippi River on the other.

We grabbed a quick dinner and cleaned up our living space, nick named ‘the Meat Locker’ because of its constant 62 degree temperature.
