Road Trip: St. Louis Arch

Our next stop was in St. Louis. We stayed at a hotel downtown, within walking distance of the Arch. We went to the arch. To get to the top of the arch, we rode in this egg-shaped elevator cars with seats, which looked like something from the future. It was an interesting ride, knowing that the "cars" were travelling in a zig-zag shape.

The view from the arch was pretty cool. We could look out both sides of the arch and see quite a ways in all directions. When we came down from the arch, we watched an IMAX movie about Louis & Clark. After we were done with that, we walked out of the building and were greeted by an awesome lightening storm. There was lightening all around us, lighting up the sky. It also started to rain on us, so we hurried back to the hotel where we ordered pizza for delivery.
