Saint Louis Zoo and Saint Louis Art Museum

2009 Holiday

On Tuesday, June 30, 2009 we visited the Saint Louis Zoo and tne nearby Saint Louis Art Museum. All visitors are allowed to capture images in this Museum as long as the flash is not used. I appreciated this picture in as much as I also have two sons and this charming painting of two young men from many years ago caught my eye. Unfortunately I never had a painting commissioned of my two sons.

Now, just to prove that we actually were in Saint Louis, Missouri we had a fellow tourist take this image of us as we were about to enter the Saint Louis Art Museum.

The Saint Louis Zoo is a fascinating place to visit. These zebra enjoyed their area and quickly posed for any photographer.

After viewing the March of the Penquins on television several years ago I have been fascinated by these birds. They are easy to photograph and in this picture you can see that they pose quite well.

A delightful visit to the Zoo and the Art Museum. After all this activity we had a delightful lunch at the "Boat House." To learn more about this fine dining establishment please visit:

This was our last full day in Saint Louis so we joined our youngest Son and his Bride at the Pasta House for a delightful dinner.

Saint Louis, Missouri a wonderful place to visit and from what I have learned over the past several years a delightful place to live and enjoy life.
