St. Louis, known as The Gateway to the Midwest and home of the Arch, Cardinals and Anheuser Busch, was recently named by AAA magazine Midwest Traveler as the best city for a weekend escape. In addition to all those titles, to me it was home for the first 18 years of my life. I have many wonderful memories of my childhood in St. Louis and am fortunate to have family members that live there so that I can often take my girls to St. Louis to explore all that is has to offer families.
