St. Louis, Part 1




Last month Dave and I went to St. Louis to visit family, we got to stay with Molly and her beautiful family (Anna, Paul, Christian and baby Peter) along with Larissa and her two kids (Shayla and little Mitchell). We went to the Gateway Arch and Dave and I, along with Shayla went all the way up to the top of the arch.


This is Shayla and I waiting to get into the pod that take you to the top! Dave, Shayla and I were the only ones in our party who had never been, so just the three of us went up together!


This is Shayla sitting in one of the chairs that takes you to the top of the arch. The pods were pretty small and you had to bend down just so you wouldn't hit your head getting in! There were five chairs in each pod, so you got pretty friendly with anyone else who was in there with you!



When you get to the top you get to walk around the top of the arch, they have small windows all along the sides so you can look down the 630 ft. to the ground!



It took about 10 minutes in the pod to get to the top and we had a really fun time! After we came back down, we all had a picnic in the park. It was a really nice day.
