Is it really Fall?
Happy First Day of Fall! While it certainly does not currently feel like Fall... I know the changing of the seasons can be delightful for some, while others want to hang on to Summer as long as possible. For me, I personally love Fall. It is one my favorite seasons. I strongly encourage you and your families to get out and enjoy the St. Louis area this Fall season. With not being from St. Louis, I am always amazed at how much there is to do within such a short drive. St. Louis is truly a wonderful place and so many, including myself, are lucky to call it home.
