Grant's Farm

Oh my goodness! What an absolutely delightful place to go - even if, like me, you don't have
young children.

Grant's Farm is the historical home of Ulysses Grant, the 18th President of the United States,
located just south of the city of St. Louis, Missouri.
It is operated by Anheuser-Busch, Inc., and has been a St. Louis tradition for over fifty years.

First, a tram ride through the 160 acre deer park and then a stroll around the animal feeding/petting area, maybe catch an Elephant Show, take a Carousel ride, have some refreshment in the German Bauernhof and then see the world famous Anheuser-Busch Clydesdales.

All in all, Grant's Farm is a 281 acre wildlife preserve that serves as a living symbol of the Busch family's love for animals and Anheuser-Busch's commitment to wildlife conservation and preservation.

My beverage - a complimentary AB beer,
in fact, one or two for each adult ~
TEArific!

Good Day to you all,

The Lantern Festival

"Art by Day, Magic by Night" 

The days were brightened and the nights were lit up at the Missouri Botanical Garden {St. Louis} last year as it hosted a spectacle rarely staged outside Asia!

An array of 26 larger-than-life lighted works of art from China were crafted from over 72,000 feet of silk and 40 tons of steel to celebrate Chinese culture and fable. Truly magnificent!

Enjoy watching a VIDEO here.

Anyone in the mood for a cuppa tea or two?!
