Well I will begin by letting you know that this is like no other March 26th Alan and I have ever seen...we got 5 inches of snow today!!! However, with our time in Saint Louis coming rapidly to a close, we decided there was no time like the present to continue exploring the city so today we went to the Missouri History Museum and the Saint Louis Art Museum. Both are located in Forest Park so I've also included some pictures of the park so you can really see just how much snow we got today. The museums were both free so it was a fun (I will not necessarily say educational) but fun way to spend a Saturday.
