Ready or not,
parents...
...here comes summer vacation! Most St. Louis kiddos close out the school year this week, including the Nenonen boys who are officially done on Friday at noon.
Simply, this year FLEW.
"Now what?!" seems to be the common theme among our friends this week, as we pull out our date books to schedule sleepovers, BBQs, and activities for the next 3 months. Luckily, here in St. Louis, the possibilities for summer fun are endless. We not only have terrific family amenities at our fingertips (see my right sidebar under "Things To Do in St. Louis" for links), but St. Louis is unique to most cities as the bulk of our local favorites are extremely affordable or free.
Over the past few years, St. Louis has been touted nationally as the ideal family destination. As a result, our local businesses have responded by offering deals and discounts to entice tourists to the attractions that are NOT free.

Great, right? Now, go tell your friends and share my link before the summer fun begins!
On a personal note, the Nenonens love Drury Hotels! Few know that early in his career, my hubby worked as a manager for Drury Hotels. 15+years later, in his significant work travel, he still uses them as his "go-to" hotel for business comfort and amenities. We also stay at Drury Hotels often with the boys!
