My parents came in to visit us last weekend. We had a really nice weekend with them. Of course we had to take them downtown to see the famous St. Louis Arch and then we went under the arch to the museum area and we watched a short movie on how the Arch was built. It's very fascinating. It's one of those things that when you see it in person and you're standing right underneath it, it seems so much taller and bigger than in pictures. It stands 630 feet tall. I can't imagine being the crew that had to finish off building the top of that thing!! If you ever come through this area, you have to go see it. I had fun taking a few pictures of it while we were there. Let's see.......we ate at a BBQ joint that was literally a hole in the wall and it still doesn't beat the best BBQ at The Branding Iron in Wichita Falls, TX. We had heard St. Louis is known for good BBQ but so far we haven't been too impressed. We were going to go do the Anheuser-Busch brewery tour but we didn't have enough time to do all of that in one day. So, the rest of the weekend we just hung around the house and spent time together. This picture just below is us standing in front of the Mississippi River.

very cool....we need to come and visit so we can see all of the fun stuff. I notice it must still be a little bit cooler there by the clothes you are wearing. Gosh here today we hit 90 and we are all in shorts and t-shirts already girl!
