arch

We were up bright and early for a morning at the St. Louis Arch. The Arch brings back very fond memories of my childhood and I couldn't wait to share that with my girls. Each year when I was growing up we took one field trip with school. We went up in the Arch, explored the museum below and had lunch on the McDonalds riverboat. Each student got their very own hamburger happy meal. Happy Meals as far as the eye could see. That McDonalds is gone, but of course the Arch still stands and I love it today as much as I did when I was kid.

I really enjoy this picture because it kind of makes B seem like a lurker.... ha!

The elevators to the top are tight quarters - a bit of challenge for the tall or claustrophobic 

These are my favorite pictures - the peering down at the city and Mississipi River below

Amanda (B's cousin) and Alex joined us for the adventure

Darnell was a good sport as he is not a fan of heights or tight quarters

How sweet is little Gwyneth with Amanda?
