We FINALLY arrived in Saint Louis and it was HOT! We ran into a lot of road work on our way but we made it. We went straight to the zoo because it was too early to check in to our hotel.Plus we want to see most of the zoo. The Saint Louis Zoo is free for everyone. There are some things you can pay for like the carousel,train ride and sea lion show. Well since we are a member of our zoo we got half off the price of the wristbands. We were not in the zoo 10 minutes and Zoe said "I don't feel very good." Then I heard the noise the one when you're about to throw up. Sure enough she gets sick. I think it was from the heat because it was over 100 degrees! After she got some drink she was feeling better. You know it's not a Cotheran vacation without a little sickness!
This is what my car said when we got out of it.
I thought cats didn't like the water? Well it was hot enough for these kitties.
Oh yeah this feels so good!
Waiting on the sea lion show to start.
All aboard!!! Anything to keep from walking..lol.
Aww Zoe found a friend:)
This is the view from our room! Our hotel is awesome! We are on the 10Th floor room 1000!
Well we {Kain and I} talked about it and decided we didn't want to go up in the Arch. That thing is TOO talk for me or my eldest child:)
We did get brave enough to at least go inside the building.Come to find out there is a museum and it's FREE! The boys have learned a lot about Lewis and Clark in school so they really enjoyed it.
Now if we had have been brave enough this is what all 5 of us would have crammed into.
The guy at the hotel recommend Joey B's if we wanted the best pizza around. Well he wasn't kidding. I usually don't like thin crust but this was awesome. The cheese was so creamy and the pizza was square. I saw where Rachael Ray had it on her Tasty Travels show.
After dinner we went back and got in the pool that was located on the 5Th floor with another gorgeous view. Now all the kids are sleeping and that is where I am about to head. We have another 10 hour drive tomorrow heading to Sioux Falls,SD. The kids were so good in the car but I wonder if tomorrow will be the same.
