St. Louis has long been one of our favorite cities for a not-too-far-from-home vacation. The kids continue to ask to visit.
Since it lies in the most direct path between Lexington and our final destination of Utah, it was a no-brainer decision to visit in 2015.
This time, in addition to the traditional sites, we also added a couple of new ones (just to mix things up and keep it exciting!). The previous photos are from the Old Courthouse, which is actually part of the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial run by the National Park Service (the Arch is also part of it). The well-known Dred Scott Decision was made here.
After exploring the Old Courthouse, we headed for the Arch.
It's always so much bigger than I remember!
We don't always go up to the top of the Arch, but it had been a couple of years since the last time we did it (and the lines were short :), so we decided to take the teeny tiny . . . like, reeeeeaaaaaallllly small . . . cars to the top.
Lutece and I took a selfie to pass the time and distract me from any claustrophobia I may have been feeling.
It's all good in St. Louis.
I love the selfie of you and Lutece.
