I retired two years ago after a career as an elementary
music teacher. This past summer I got the
idea that it would be fun to visit all the museums in the St. Louis area, one a
month. When I developed the list I
discovered that it would take more than four years to complete this task.
I enlisted a friend, also a retired teacher, and we are
planning our monthly trips which also include a meal at a local restaurant near
the museum. We pull a museum name out of a hat each month and then do the rest
of the planning. We have six other
friends who also taught with us over forty years ago that when they are able
accompany us on these adult field trips.
When I started doing research on the museums I learned that
for some of the museums there was not much information online. It was then that I decided to blog our
experiences in the hope that my information would be helpful to others that
might want to visit one of these locations.
