Day two in St. Louis took us to the Chase Park Hotel in the Central West End neighborhood. We spent most of the day lounging by the pool and napping, which meant it was perfect. But later that afternoon we did venture out for ice cream and stumbled upon the world's largest chess piece. Pretty cool.
After dinner we headed to the St. Louis Botanical Gardens for the
Chinese Lantern Display::Art by Day, Magic by Night. And it was quite magical!

This dragon is made of china, not the country, the dishes.

| See the plates? |
 |
| The lanterns in water were especially magical. |
 |
| For a $1 you could throw a "wish" into the Wishing Tree. I immediately saw through this scam, but Matt wanted one... |
 |
| After you "wish" you get to bang the gong, I think that was really why he wanted to buy one. |
 |
| Remember these are lanterns, wire.....cloth...lights...sometimes dishes, that's all. |
 |
| There were about 20 of these hidden in the bushes! |
 |
A picture to prove we were there.

The lanterns were super amazing. It was great fun, even with a migraine headache coming on, I was so glad to be there. The festival runs through the middle of August so you should check out if you are headed to Missouri anytime soon.
