Meet Me in St. Louis

For the 4th of July weekend we decided it would be fun to travel to St. Louis to see the Gateway Arch. We drove down on the 4th and got there just a few hours before the fireworks started.

We ventured down to the waterfront park and found a spot with a great view of the Arch
 

 a view of the fireworks going off in the Arch, it was a great show!

The next day we went to the top of the arch. Here we are in the tiny elevators that take you to the top...

630 feet high!

We then got back on the road and headed north to Nauvoo, pics to come!
