Catherdral Basilica of St. Louis and the Zoo


Did you know that the St. Louis Zoo is Free all the time. Its apart of their city charter that zoo will always be free so to better educate their citizens. The zoo was great not just because it was free, but had lots of close up exhibits and a fun train that took you through the exhibits and all around the zoo.

Madelyn's favorite animal--Baby Jaguar!!! that was the only animal we HAD to see at the zoo.

Who knew that Rhinoceros's had fuzzy ears


Our afternoon adventure took us to the Cathedral Basilica of St. Louis.

The interior of the Cathedral was beautiful..words can not fully describe how ornate it was. Started in 1907 the building is a mix of Byzantine and Romanesque architecture, with all the mosaic art work hand designed and laid the next 30 years. I would highly recommend a visit to the sanctuary itself and the crypts.
