It's HOW HIGH?!

After the session at the temple we decided to go to the St. Louis Arch! I did not know that you could go to the top! As many of you know I'm not kean on HEIGHTS! It only cost $10 bucks, so 3 girls and 1 prego lady went to the top in this little pod!! It took about 8-9 mins to get to the top. Once you get to the top you can get out and look out at the Mississippi river side or the St. Louis side. Both sides were awesome! I really liked the St. Louis side!! While we were at the top there was a Cardinals game going on! We could see the entire stadium from the top! We could also see: The Edward Jones Stadium (Illinois Ram Stadium), The Busch Stadium (St. Louis Cardinals) The capitol building and the Us bank building. On the Other side (Illinois side) we saw the Mississippi river, the bridge connecting St. Louis to Illinois, and the river boat casino!



St. Louis Side!


This is some cute little pond next to the arch. Reminds me a little of the Central Park.
This is the bridge I was talking about!
Now, this is the pod that takes you to the tip top of the arch! It was tiny! It seats 5 and minimal leg room!
I think either this was a lightning bolt or a picture flash reflecting off the side of the arch!

Arch from one of the freeways.
This is picture reminds me of the National Monument! haha
The EXACT middle of the arch!

I just really liked this picture, as we were driving away we saw the Busch stadium and the arch.


I don't know what I'm doing...but Heather liked it!
that's me in the middle!
The capitol!

The Mississippi river side!
This is the bridge connecting St. Louis to Illinois!

These are some stairs going down to the Mississippi river...if you look close enough you can see a yellow sign?! That's under water!!
This is looking down at the miss. river.

Again, underwater....
