Tuesday's adventure...
*Don't cheat, make sure you check out the pics on pt.1 :)
Tuesday morning we were all exhausted. I don't know how truck drivers do it??? So Tuesday morning we were on the road at 7a... Texas time. Unfortunately we didn't account for the time change that would happen that evening, which caused us to arrive very late to our hotel that evening. Anyhow, since we were residing on the outskirts of Missouri/Illinois, we had to take advantage of seeing the legendary arch. If you ever go to Illinois... which is even better then Missouri, simply cause it's gorgeous and has so much history to view... GO SEE THE ARCH!
My dad and I on the steps... far far away :)
Such an enjoyable ride. We went through Columbus, Oh. which wouldn't have been so bad if it wasn't 5 o'clock traffic. It's like Dallas traffic, but worse. Ex: it doesn't matter if you can't exit for that lane anymore, people still do it. Fortunately it was really cloudy, so the drive was even better. Unfortunately St. Louis was the only site seeing we were able to do that day. We did wanna go see Gettysburg, but unfortunately there wasn't enough time. I just LOVE this area! Once we hit Pennsylvania, it was gorgeous! Lots of old towns, driving through tunnels, very hilly, curvy and trees that seem to go on forever. We finally reached our destination at midnight. It wasn't hard to pass out. Gas wasn't nearly as expensive the second day, but if you do drive this route set aside the same amount of money.

Love the streets :)
St. Louis

Just to give you somewhat of an idea of how wide it is in comparison to me.... I kinda felt like Rocky being on those steps. How does that song go??? You know your humming it in your head right now :)
These doors were so little and cute!
Very crowded. Actually, I kinda felt sick after being in there.
From the top!
When you reach the very top of the arch, this is how you look out. If your claustrophobic... well, beware.
Very steep going down and coming up
After your done with the Arch, go check out the Luis and Clark museum
I have no idea what that wheel was used for? Surly it can't be a steering wheel... there's no way?!
Check it out!!! A Texas Road House in Ohio! I did see another one, but I don't remember what state it was in?
