Saturday morning Nancy and I started out with a great breakfast outdoors at the Benton Park grill on the corner of Arsenal and Lemp. Then on to Benton Park were I spent a lot of time roaming the park from age six to fourteen.
We then headed downtown to City Park that is only about three years old. We then moved west to the world famous Carl Mille fountains on the north side of Union Station.
We finished our city excursion by going to a farmers market in Tower Grove park.

In addition at age fourteen i was trying to impress Jquanita by riding my bike on the ice and again the bike and I in front of Jquanita went for a swim,!!!!!!! |
