Sunday morning we headed to St. Louis. We left around 8 a.m. We stopped in Wentzville at a HUGE Flea Market for some bargain hunting. I got myself and Alex a set of golf clubs and bags for only $5 each! After shopping, we drove to downtown St. Louis and went to the Arch. The tram ride to the top is 4 minutes long in a tiny little car that resembles some type of space shuttle. You definitely cannot be claustrophobic for this ride! After the Arch, we headed to the hotel for some swimming and supper. The hotel was absolutely beautiful and had a wonderful supper buffet and breakfast buffet! After supper, we walked to the Cardinals game. Our hotel was only a few blocks from the stadium! The girls all had a great time at the game! They screamed so much that I was sure they would all have no voice left by today... unfortunately I was wrong! The Cardinals won the game and we even scored 2 home runs! The next morning, I drug everyone out of bed at 7 a.m. After we ate breakfast, we headed out to spend the day at the zoo. We all had a wonderful time, but I am glad to be home!
This is the tram that takes you to and from the top of the Arch.
This is a view of the Cardinal's Stadium from the top of the Arch.
This is a view of our hotel, The Drury Plaza Hotel, from the Arch.
This is a view of the Mississippi from the Arch.
This is Clara looking out the windows at the top of the Arch.
Sam was surprisingly more scared of the Arch experience than Alex was.
I thought this was really cool, it's a picture from the top of the Arch of it's shadow.
This is the position BJ immediately assumed when we arrived at the hotel.
The kids immediately went to the pool!
I spent my time in the hot tub!
We had a really pretty view of the Arch from the hotel. It was right at sunset and the arch was so shiny and beautiful.
We had an amazing 2 room suite. Sam and Clara slept on the pull out couch and Alex was thrilled to have her own bed!
The girls took full advantage of the free popcorn and soda in the hotel lobby!
GO CARDS!!!
This is the view from the cheap seats!
This is a guy that sat in front of us. Notice his shoulder... Clara cracked open her peanut and the shell went flying and landed on his shoulder! We laughed so hard! I just had to post a picture! He never did notice the peanut shell on his shoulder!
How many monkeys can you see in this picture... I see 3, counting Sam of course!
I think Alex is trying to strike a pose here... keep working on it, Alex!
She may not be great at posing for a picture, but she makes a mean bear!
Sam... the snake charmer!
