St. Louis Vacation. Day 4 and 5.

After our busy day the day before, we decided not to slow down any. We headed to SIX FLAGS!! I love amusement parks- rollercoasters, water rides, people watching. It's all so fun! I didn't take many pictures, but here are the one I did...
We had so much fun riding all the coasters. We hit the biggest and one of my personal fav's first, the Batman! We rode some of the wooden coasters, which are fun but entirely too jerky. Mid-afternoon we headed to the water park aspect, which I think was our favorite! We rode on the most intense rides there. It's called the Bonzai Pipeline.

This is not us. I got these pictures off the Six Flags website. Pretty much the way this thing works is you get in that yellow tube, they close the door, countdown, and then the floor beneath you drops out from under you! You go through the pipe at like 40 mph, all while holding your breath and closing your eyes. So intense, but I thought it was kinda fun!

The last day we took our time getting up and getting ready. We went to Dunkin doughnuts for  breakfast. Then we killed sometime around town. Remember that mall I was telling you about? We went back there and spent time in these two stores.


I could seriously spend a lot of money in The Container Store. It's like a Type A personality's dream- nothing but organization!
Landon on the other hand could spend a lot of time and money in REI. Its full of camping and outdoor gear!!
We took our time getting home, but we did stop at the famous Lamberts Cafe. Nothing but good ole' home cooking.


Also, on the way home we stopped at Diebold Orchard and got some fresh peaches! Brought back childhood memories. 

Needless to say, we had a GREAT time on vacation an wouldn't have traded it for the world. Thanks Landon for letting us go and spoiling me!!
