Saint Louis, Missouri

Woke up Thursday morning to a typical mid-western rain storm - with lightning. It pours constantly, in a steady stream, for a couple of hours. The herbs in the yard love it, and the grass is much more greener than California. Just as it started quietly, it ended around 10am and the day turned out quite nice after that.

I took Priya, Arjun and Arya to The Lodge, at Des Peres a great water recreation facility. The indoor wave pool had children and adults bobbing around in inflated rings. The outdoor fun included a lazy river, slides and water fountains that the kids enjoyed immensely.
Shekar mentioned that this is a more recent phenomenon - cities building recreational facilities and turning it over to professional management. The facility was very clean, and prices at the concession stand were extremely reasonable ($2 or less)
