The End is Near

The Summer is coming to a quick end for us. We are excited to head home. We have really enjoyed our time here in St. Louis.
We went to the St. Louis Arch and had a blast. We woke up bright and early and headed there so we could get back in time for Ben to start working at noon. We got lost on the way but it was definitely worth the trip.
The arch is AMAZING!!! I don't know how they made anything like that...it just towers in the air.
Waiting for the tram to come to take the ride to the top
The tram is little tiny and a lot of people get claustrophobic inside. I was glad it was just me and Ben inside.
The doors were made for midgets!
Inside the tram on our way to the top!
We made it to the top.
The view from the top
A kiss at the top of the arch...MUAH!
Back in the tram, riding down the arch
Outside of the arch...it REALLY is huge
hugging the arch...we love St. Louis
Ben jumping off the arch
We bought lemon-drops and they made my soul so happy. They remind me of my childhood and going over to my great-grandparents house...they always had lemon-drops for us to eat.
My mom and sister Kaylee sent us this cool package that had this adorable baby outfit in it...we are having a baby in February 2010!! We are so excited!!

The arch is so cool. Was it scary being at the top? I think I might be a little nervous. The temple grounds are very pretty. I love the really long grass walkway. We are so excited to see you guys!!! Hope your feeling well. Say hi to benny for us and way to endure to the end :)
