While in St. Louis, we visited the Missouri Botanical Garden. This pages is a dump of the Chihuly glass on exhibit at the park.

St. Louis has a sculpture park near the downtown/arch area, so what better way to waste time on Independence Day waiting for the sun to go down.

Our timing put us in St. Louis over Independence Day so we walked to the Gateway Arch National Park to watch the fireworks over the river. We had a great time - I'll just let the pics and videos speak for themselves. Your browser does not support webm video Your browser does not support webm video Your browser does not...

A first time visit to St. Louis isn't complete without a visit to the Gateway Arch National Park, so Melissa had to go up into the arch to get a birds eye view of the city. So we grabbed some tickets and headed up. It's a long way down but the views are spectacular.
