St Louis (mostly pics)

WARNING: TONS OF PICTURES BELOW!!!
I wont say much on this but will put some stuff with pictures. With all me and Trent has had going on, it has been quit stressful so we decided to take a quick get away and go to St. Louis to see the sites and watch the Cardinal play.

I was quit fascinated with the arch so there are a ton of pictures of it alone. This is the arch view standing outside of our motel.

You can see the arch driving all over town. We had actually drove about 20-30 minutes away to the Old Chain of Rocks Bridge and you could still see the arch far off in the distance.

At Busch stadium, if the Cardinals hit a homerun, they would shoot off fireworks with the arch in the background.

When your tour the inside of the arch, this is whe egg shaped tram that you take up into it. If your claustrophobic, this IS NOT for you.

We took a ride down Route 66

Then we went for a short walk down the Old Chain of Rocks Bridge which used to be part of Route 66

This sign and gas pump is part of the original Route 66

This bench was made out of a sign that was on part of the original Route 66

I was IN LOVE with my zoo pics and totally AMAZED at how well they turned out. They actually look even better printed. Made me LOVE my new camera even more.

Loved the Lions. He was simply Beautiful!!!

Lion far away.

This lion was walking out on the tree limb and scared me half to death. The limb was shaking as if it was going to break however did not seem to phase this lion at all.

I loved the up close shots of the animals.

This Gorilla totally cracked us up laying there hanging like it was dead. At one point, it opened its eyes and just layed there looking around at everyone.

Momma Elephant and Baby Elephant

And last but not least the Hippo. I was totally fascinated with the Hippo, who ever knew they could swim under water for so long.

Hope you all enjoyed viewing our nice relaxing get away. We sure do LOVE our vacations and get aways and hope to go to New York next year so hopefully I can share tons of pictures from there also. Actually, it could be scary how many pictures I come back from New York with.
