Looking Back: Wrapping up our Trip: Missouri and The City Museum

We ended our big trip out east in January with a stop in St. Louis, Missouri, 

to stay with our dear friends, Val and Tim Handyside. 

We spent the day at the City Museum. It was AMAZING! 

Pretty much the best museum I have ever been to.

Basically this guy took all this junk and recycled it into the coolest park. 

Wikipedia does an amazing job describing it...

I could have taken 1,000's of pictures here. It was so cool.

 The tunnels in this place were crazy! Everywhere you looked were tunnels you could climb. 

 The Awesome Brothers- these guys were very witty. 

 That right there is a maze/tunnel/stairway...

 his tunnel was probably about 10 stories high. It was scary! 

 The slides were incredible too 

Great food in St. Louis! 

 During the last leg of the trip, we hit a VERY bad snowstorm in Kansas and the interstate was actually shut down. We had to spend an extra night in a hotel but before long we were greeted by big blue skies and this sign! It was SOOOOOOO good to be home! 

Looking Back: New Year's Eve at Niagara Falls

 I realized I never finished posting pics from our big road trip out east over Christmas break! 

After leaving Massachusetts, we traveled to Buffalo, New York for New Years Eve.

This was the first part of our trip in which we saw snow! 

 We met up with Mike and Michelle Weston and their kiddos for dinner at The Anchor Bar 

which is the home of the first official buffalo wild wings (at least they say) 

and let me tell you, the wings were delicious! And the company was even better! 

After dinner, we drove up to the Falls, on the New York side, just in time to see the fireworks! It was freezing and the mist was like little ice pellets on your face but a cool thing to see! The power and force of those falls is astounding. A perfect way to ring in 2015.

Flashback to our 13th Anniversary

Coffee in the morning
Ice cream at night
Make sure the kitchen’s clean
Then we turn out the light

Raindrops on the window
We’re on the couch
Fire in the fireplace
Best seat in the house

When God made you
He already knew
That we were meant to be
With love as deep
As the big blue sea
We were meant to be

Feet on the dashboard
Wind in my hair
As long as you’re beside me
I’ll go anywhere

I’ll make you dinner
You do the laundry
We’ll make mistakes
Then say we’re sorry
Our love will bend
But it won’t break
When we give more than we take
