"The Gateway to the West"

The car ride down hear seemed to fly by. Quite short after our trek out west. We stopped at a great little restaurant on the hill called Anthonino's. Look fir on a coming episode of Diners, Drive-ins and Dives. Very yummy. Our next stop in St. Louis had to be the Arch. The park surrounding the Arch is beautiful. While Gail and Dale took a stroll with the babies, the rest of us went up to the top. During our wait in line we saw a crate of "gooseberries". Sweet reminder of Dad. Soon we were riding in eggs that were obviously built when people were much smaller. We inched our way up to the top. A long four minute ride. I could hear Dalton screaming from the next egg, " Ahhh we're stuck!" My egg was a much more subdued ride with Doug, Paige, and two high school girls that we didn't know. The kids had a blast! I even took a picture of the crappy cardinals stadium for my mentally retarded brother. Yeah Dan I said it! Go Cubs Go! Then it was back to the hotel for a little swimming, dinner and of course the Olympics. Minor detail though; out of our three rooms only one gets NBC. What the heck?!
