Yesterday as I dropped in at the local grocery store I ran into one of my avid readers and her family, they were all headed to the St Louis Science Center in St Louis, MO for a last minute back to school trip. Shamelessly all day yesterday I stalked her Facebook account to see photos, comments, and updates about her day with her family at the Science Center. I LOVE when I get to see other people enjoy and share about places that I have been to.....I will add it looked as if her gang was having a blast!
It has been 8 months (almost to the day) since I took D-man to the St Louis Science Center for his 5th birthday (wiping a tear) I still look back at the photos and think about how much FUN he had on his special birthday trip.
The St Louis Science Center is the perfect "little boy" trip....seriously! Their minds will be opened, their energy will be burnt, and I forgot to mention most of it is FREE.......
These days as a single mom struggling on a small income I have realized how fun life can be without all the glitz and glam. In December, for the little man's big number 5 birthday my gal pal and I loaded up the car and headed to St Louis to celebrate in a BIG, but affordable way!
The little man could tell no difference if I spent $5 on his day or $500 all he knew is he had fun and was loved.
The St Louis Science Center is open daily, many of the exhibits are FREE, but some do cost a small fee! On our adventure scale of 1 to 10, D-man gives the St Louis Science Center a 12! He LOVED his birthday surprise!
