Arches and Weddings

I just returned from the beautiful wedding of my niece and new nephew in St. Louis where I hope the wild night of dancing balanced out the nonstop intake of delicious food and adult beverages, but I'm not stepping on the scale to find out.

We also ventured into space, or at least it felt like it, by ascending the St. Louis arch. What an engineering marvel, but definitely not for the phobics of the world. The little windowless round pod that seats five urchins comfortably or five humans uncomfortably whisks you to the top in four minutes, so you can peer out the angled windows at the vista below. The sight out the windows is beautiful; the sight of seventy rear ends leaning in an arched row is less so, but rather funny.

And we followed that up with a Cardinals baseball game where they showed off for us West Coasters by hitting a grand slam in the seventh inning. All in all an enjoyable trip.

  1. It was good to see you there. I still can't get the 70 rear ends out of my brain....Yuck. We can't wait to see what your neck of the woods has to offer in July. Good luck with all the planning. See you soon.
