I forgot about these photos, but looking at them transports me back to the HEAT of this day. Gah! So hot!
My bones were not made for this kind of heat, but with the help of some well placed linen I survived…
and a random swimming fountain that is right outside the Arch museum. Thank the good Lord in heaven! We needed it.
So we went to the Arch and spent our time almost entirely in the shade of some trees on the lawn and in this most welcome swimming fountain.
Not exactly how I imagined introducing the girls to the Arch, but does anything ever go the way you think it will with kids?
No. The answer is no.
Where have you gone on vacation this summer?
Until next time,
Karin
My outfit details:
Tank: thrifted. Similar ethical option (I own this in other colors and its SO good!)
Shorts: Po-Em (TTS)
Shoes: Old. Almost exact
These photos are darling! We visited St. Louis this weekend (and the Arch!) and the heat was just so intense. We spent much of our weekend away moving from shaded spot to shaded spot. I was really impressed by the number of swimmable-fountains we saw on our visit but we didn’t take advantage of them!
I grew up there and the heat can be super intense! Ugh. That was pretty much how our trip went as well.
Those bonnets! I live here, but haven’t been to the finished Arch grounds yet. Maybe when cooler!! (Pool and all.)
It’s really nice! I grew up there so I’ve been a bunch of times, but I was bummed the museum wasn’t completed yet because I’d like to see the updates!
I went to the new Arch museum the first week in reopened July and it was fascinating! (But I was there WITHOUT my kids, on a brief solo stopover before going to the airport). And it was swelteringly hot then, too.
I’m curious about the changes! I’ve been many times before, but I’d like to see what’s new.
