Meramec Caverns

My husband arrived Thursday night and he’s leaving Tuesday, so yesterday was his only full day in the St. Louis area. He’s been to St. Louis many times and done a lot of the cool touristy stuff with us already. Yesterday was also quite hot so we wanted to do something inside. In the end we settled on Meramec Caverns, which is about an hour outside St. Louis.

I went to Meramec Caverns as a kid and thought it was really cool. I also knew my kids would like it. What I didn’t remember was how cool it was inside. 60* on a 96* day! It felt heavenly in there.

Such a massive space underground
Lots of really incredible stalactites and stalagmites
This wall is two stories tall!

My husband and son were skeptical, but ended up loving it. We all had a great time.

Last night my parents watched our kids at my aunt’s house so we could have drinks with my cousin. This morning we are packing everything up and bringing most of it to my uncle’ farm for our July 4th family reunion. I can’t wait!

Internet at the farm is not great and I’ll be busy soaking in the 72 hours with family, but if I can’t post up there I promise I’ll post when we’re back in St. Louis.

I hope you all have a happy 4th of July weekend!
