President's Day is a reminder of our great nation's presidents and of our heritage. It is also the perfect day to take your aging parents out for the day to celebrate family. What a great opportunity for everyone to catch up, and get out for the day. Here are a few things going on around the area to inspire your holiday agenda:
Missouri Botanical Garden has a lovely Orchid Show from now until March 25th. It is a fantastic display of around 800 orchids. Even those of you that don’t have a green thumb will enjoy this premier exhibit! Every winter, hundreds of bald eagles come to St. Louis to nest, and The National Great Rivers Museum in Alton, IL is a popular spot for viewing. The Wild Bird Sanctuary offers other varieties of birds on display. Finally, don't rule out The St. Louis Science Center as a great destination. The Omnimax Theatre, Planetarium and Discovery Room offer something for everyone.
