We made a whirlwind weekend trip in November in which we flew to Wichita and drove 6 hours to Southern MO to see David and congratulate him on graduating from boot camp in the Army. From there we drove 2 more hours east to St. Louis to see the arch, an architectural wonder that Jon could no pass up. From there we drove another 7 hours staying overnight near Kansas City in northern MO, and ended back up in Wichita to visit some of Jon's family from there. We left on a Thursday and returned on a Sunday, and although I am not sure it was that smartest thing for me to do so pregnant, it was surely an experience we will never forget. All of the pictures we took were from the day we went to St. Louis.





The tiny black specks at the top of the arch are windows that we were able to ride a tiny elevator to the top and look out of.



Looking out to the Mississippi River with the arch in the backround, it was such a beautiful day!

Taking pictures of taking pictures :)

Along with a really fun horse drawn carriage ride we were able to take the "metro" westbound to see the old St. Louis train station that was turned into a mall and hotel. It was really a site to see.

The old train station...

These are just some cute pictures my talanted friend Tammy took one day when we were at a park together of Hannah. She is such a goof ball sometimes.
Wow! We flew into St. Louis for a festival near Branson, but didn't get to see the arch. I hope I get to someday. Glad you made it through being pregnant!
