Today, we left Louisville and drove to St. Louis. We visited the Gateway Arch which was amazing! First, Reede, Beck, and I visited the musuem and became Junior Rangers again. Then we bought tickets to go up into the arch. We got in this little tram that had 5 seats in it, but Reede called it "an egg." It was a 4 minute ride to the top, but it felt like a ferris wheel that kept tipping. When we finally got to the top, there were windows we got to look out and since my dad is so scared of heights, he couldn't even look all the way down. There were two frozen ponds, the stadium that the Rams play in, and the Budweiser factory. We took some pictures and then took the tram back down. Then we had to continue our drive to Kansas City. We stopped at a Subway but I had fallen asleep. When I woke up we stopped at another Subway because we were still hungry and then we found a town called Emma. I took a picture of it because she is one of my best friends. We finished our drive and found our hotel called the Aladin Holiday Inn. It's a really cool hotel in downtown Kansas City. We gained one hour today and so we're all up late! We need to drive a long ways tomorrow to Denver, Colorado!
So glad you made it to Kansas City ok and are en route back to the pacific time zone. Yeah!
