Trip to St. Louis Arch

Up early this morning to drop of Fred at the local vet for boarding.  John and I are going to St. Louis to tour the Arch with Tricia, William and Emily.  It snowed all the way from Leavenworth, Kansas to St. Louis.  Before we left the park this morning I took a few pictures of the snow.

We made it to St. Louis without any mishaps.  There were a lot of vehicles in the median of the road.  Our tour of the Arch was at 4:00 just in time for the rain and sleet to catch us. Oh well, we enjoyed our tour and had a great time.

It was still raining lightly when we left the arch but John was able to get a few outside photos.

By the time we left the arch we were ready to search out some dinner.  We ended up at a place called First Chinese Wok Buffet.   After the dinner stop it was back to the hotel for the night.

 

Laugh everyday.  Happy trails.  Stay safe.

  3. Glad to hear you made it to The Arch & back home safely. Hopefully this is the last snow around here this winter — but it's snowed in early April before, so Winter may not have let go of us yet. Love the pic of The Arch from dead center looking up — very abstract looking.
