When my first son was younger my husband had days off during the middle of the week. We would go adventure to the park in the summer and to the magic house or coffee houses in the winter.
Now my husband is off on Saturday and Sunday. While I am so thankful to not have to brave every single one of our childrens' friends birthday parties solo, (except a lot of those suckers still fall on a Friday) we miss the opportunity to go out and adventure without the weekend crowds as a family.
So Friday my hubby took off work because he had a live fantasy football draft.
This is how I feel alotttt this time of year^^^^^ I am also thankful he gets to do something he loves. Anyway....so we got to take an adventure day with our little guy while our bigger guy was at school. Notice I didn't say big guy because they are still little, ok? To me they will always be little. No Growing Up! Sorry, not sorry. I have mom problems.
Anyway last Friday was rainy, and we love to adventure into the city and explore. So my hubby looked up kid friendly coffee shops, and we rolled out.
Another of my many goals this year was to hit a bunch of places on the coffee passport with my honey. I got it for him for Christmas this year. I will link it, but it is currently out of stock.
This place we hit was not on the passport, and now I know why.
It was totally cozy, and had lots of fun kiddo stuff, but the coffee was not my jam.
I don't really do milk except in coffee and I prefer an alternative milk.
Which I know most coffee snobs like it black. I can do black, but the coffee has to be exceptional. I had black coffee at Sump Coffee for my birthday last year and it was super good. Because Sump Coffee. Sump Now? (bad mom joke)
Anyway I got an almond milk latte and it tasted sort of like cardboard. Which almond milk lattes tend to do except if you go somewhere awesome. Anyway my jam right now is oat milk lattes which you can find at a couple of exceptional places, one which is really close to me, and on the coffee passport:
I've had it iced and hot. Both ways are delish. In any case here is a photo of my littlest homie there not that long ago.
Then we went to Ikea with this cutie because my husband is obsessed, and we got a 3$ milk frother for our coffee. It's boss. The kid in this pic is boss. My husband is boss. 
We try to adventure with our kids if we can and explore the cool places around where we live. And if we are in the city you can bet that my husband is going to talk me into an IKEA trip.
Stay on the lookout for more tips on places to hang with your kids in STL, drink good coffee, and go on a rainy day.
The Adventurin' Momma,
