Visiting St. Louis, MO


As Minnesota is whimpering under winter’s wrath that has continued into spring; it seems best to divert our attention to happier times, like the spring break.
Last month for spring break we traveled to St Louis, Missouri. This city appeared on my travel wish list when my friend and fellow scrapbook-er Mary Jo posted a page with pictures from Botanical gardens and subsequently mentioned going to the top of the Gateway Arch.
This year in school my daughter started learning about American history and read a little about the Westward Expansion; and that was incentive enough for us to finally plan the trip and strike another thing off the bucket list.
