Cake spotting

Over the river.

The Missouri River that is. To St. Charles County, Colin and Andrew's neighborhood.

Colin and Andrew

First stop, the Lewis and Clark Boathouse. As we pulled into the parking lot, Colin called with excitement in his voice, "Hey Grandma, I see the cake and I see your car."

The Stl250 cake is a tribute to the Lewis and Clark Expedition. The bottom layer has, as Andrew would call them, "bird eyes." There were areas of blue, for the river and green, for the land. The map had the northern states with the path of the expedition. We followed the path with our finger and when we got towards then end at Washington state, Colin knew it was named after the president.

We did a little exploring around the boathouse. Colin read a rebus story about how people founded the land. Andrew ran down a boat landing to the river, there were lots of bridges to see. Then we walked through the Never Dying Garden.

The next few cakes on our list were not to be found by us today. I don't know if they were hiding inside buildings but it was a nice winter thaw day so finding a place to park wasn't meant to be.

The last cake was at Ft. Zumwalt Park. It's a nice little ride around Lake Whetsel. The cake sits in front of the Darius Heald House where tours are through appointment only. Off to side, stands the stone chimney from Zumwalts Fort, which is now being rebuilt.

The cake has recognizable pictures of these buildings, the lake and playground painted all around it. Strands of Christmas lights are on the top of the cake.

Could this be because every year the park has their Celebration of Lights, where you can drive around the park to view the holiday light display?
