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.
Each of these activities is both inexpensive and enjoyable for your aging parent. Remember that no matter which activity you choose, enjoy the holiday and keep the conversations going. And when you need home care advice? We'll be there to answer your questions through a free in-home assessment or when you call 1-800-HOMECARE (in MO).
