After a 271 mile ride, we checked into the hotel we headed through gateway park where the arch waited just a top of the mighty Mississippi River. After a quick group picture in front of the arch we headed down below to begin our journey to the top. Some of the group were a little nervous about the tram ride, but everyone made it to the top and enjoyed the view once there. Enjoy the pictures below that chronicle our experience.
Everybody in St. Louis ready to take a trip to the top of the arch! What a beautiful day!
The tram doors are only 4 feet tall!
"Going up in the Arch was really fun, but also sort of scary. As we creaked up the Arch I thought about how the trams were put in only two years after the Arch was built. Getting to the top was worth it!" --Carrie Fulton
Can you tell they are excited?

Stop Two: The Millennium Restaurant
After our visit to the arch we returned to the hotel to prepare for dinner. Everyone got all glammed up and we walked the two blocks to the 28th floor restaurant. After a quick group picture in the lobby we headed up to the top for an amazing meal of prime rib, mashed potatoes, green beans and cheeses cake!
Through the windows you can see the St. Louis skyline!
This is a night view of Cardinal's

Check out this amazing meal that we had at the Millennium Restaurant. This was quite possibly the best prime rib and cheese cake ever!
According to Margaret her hands spell "wow"!
After dinner, the girls said they had to force themselves to stop eating cake. Yes, it was really that good!
" The Meridian Restaurant was awesome. With a rotating floor 28 floors up over looking St. Louis, it was spectacular. I even got to snap a picture of a birds eye view of Cardinal's Stadium. The food was delicious and everything about it was wonderful!" --McKenzie Folan
Nice faces, happy people and an amazing background!
All Smiles.......
