Spent a few busy days in st. Louis reconnecting with lots of my family. I have a new found appreciation for my mom and all my aunts and uncles. (she's one of nine kids!) Uncle dan and aunt Kathy were wonderful hosts and tour guides! We went all over the place! Highlights included: seeing the arch and the westward expansion museum bike riding along Grant's Farm, toasted ravioli, several museums, a brewery tour, lots of great food, and of course the chance to spend time with family!
The Arch!
At the base of the arch with Aunt Kathy
630 feet up in the top of the arch!
Getting concretes at Ted Drews! They serve your frozen custard by turning it upside down first. So good!

Climbing through the crazy city museum. This place was so awesome and weird! www.citymuseum.org
Irish music at the famous McGurks bar.
OMG and I never use that stupid acronym...This brings back so many memories! The arch and all those boats next to it that I always wanted to go on- the weird museum that doesn't really fit in any normal category (did u guys climb the rope thing that is meant for small children but is so much fun??)- and frickin ted drews upsidowns ... it's like you're doing our childhood trips ...10 yrs later- you know I saw that Lou went to Mader's in Milwaukee .. are you with him or is that a wild fluke?
