In July of 2017, our good friends the Merrill family moved to O'Fallon, Illinois which is just outside of St. Louis, Missouri. On March 1st, I was able to spend the weekend with Amy and her wonderful family. We spent time exploring the area, including a Saturday trip into the city of St. Louis which was a lot of fun.
We started the day off at Soulard, a big Farmer's Market right in the heart of the city. The produce was so cheap and we had fun trying out some yummy treats like roasted almonds and chocolate covered nutter butter cookies!
Then we headed over to Ikea to check out some home décor. I found a sink that I really want to get for the kid's bathroom. We only have one sink in there which can cause a lot of problems when everyone is trying to get ready for bed at the same time. This double sink is only a few inches longer than our single sink so we might have to check it out at the Baltimore Ikea.
We explored around the area including viewing this stature of Chuck Berry.
We ate lunch at a fantastic place called "Fitz's." They bottle their own root beers and craft sodas and offered these amazing root bear floats!
Sunday was Amy's birthday so we all helped to make her a yummy dinner and had fun playing games and watching some BYUTV. It was fun to visit with the Merrills again. We miss them a lot, but they are really doing well in Illinois so we will just have to settle for fun visits every now and again!
