After a five hour drive from Chicago to St. Louis to drop my son off for his second year of college, and then a few hours driving my son and his suite mates about St. Louis to get those things that they had all forgotten, we were told our services were no longer needed (but they did all thank us).
Then, after a lovely though entirely artery clogging meal at a local BBQ restaurant, I persuaded my husband to make a visit to Forest Park. It was beautiful, but it was hot and humid, and he suffered, so many photo opportunities, but I had to go for a few quick snapshots before we headed back to the comfort of AC in the car.
