Even though our stay in St. Louis was not very long, we took advantage of every second!
So much so, that I had to break day 2 into two parts!
Our first item on the agenda was heading to the Gateway Arch.
It was such a beautiful day to take a walk through the park that was home to the Arch.
(Notice the one base of the Arch behind the boys...the Arch was massive!)
This picture of Keith and I under the arch is one of my favorite pictures from the trip!
Thanks to Savannah for her great photography skills!
Inside the Arch, we climbed into a small elevator car that would take us to the top.
Suck it in everyone--it's a tight squeeze in there!
I have to say, even though we were cramped, it was better than walking the 1076 stairs to the top like visitors had to do in the past before the elevator was installed!
After a quick 4 minute ride, we were at the top!
You can see the old courthouse in this picture....
...and Busch Stadium in this picture!
Notice something in the middle of the baseball field?
That's U2 setting up for their concert on Sunday!
This is a picture of our hotel with the rooftop pool.
Say cheese Keithers!
After about an hour at the Arch, our tummies were rumbling.
Nothing like Friday's on a Friday, right?!
Good thing we had a big lunch because
our next activity of the day called for a full stomach.... :)
(Stay tuned....)
