We left Missy and Gerry's house around 6:00am.  We are driving the St Louis to visit the Arch (The Gateway to the west.  Randy dropped Pearl and I off and he stayed with the truck and the dogs.

Pearl and I bought our tickets to go to the top of the Arch. We got right on and went on up to the top. We took lots of pictures and then went down. It was four minutes up and three minutes to come back down. I believe it was 630 ft.

After we got back down we walked across the street to see the water. We took lots of pictures to share--some were even crazy.

Randy and the dogs picked us up and we started oiur trip to Belleville, Jean and Bill's house.

We were thrilled to be asked to spend the night and we then got ribs, salads, rice and all kinds of things for dinner. The best part was seeing all the kids, how grown up they were and their children. It was a true blessing from God that he lead us here to have a wonderful visit with our friends.

Looking forward to another great day. I believe we are headed to Minesota tomorrow morning.
