St. Louis

With regional basketball tickets in hand (has anyone noticed a general theme going on) we head to St. Louis for some games, sight seeing, relaxation, and eating out. We are staying at the Marriott located in the St. Louis Union Station, a National Historic Landmark. The station first opened in 1894 and was the largest & busiest passenger rail terminal in the world.

Landry's Seafood restaurant (it was yummy!) and the Hard Rock Cafe are out the back under the train shed.

We head out on the Metro to the St. Louis Arch on our first morning. A cool morning with brief showers off and on didn't deter us.

Squeezing into a small elevator car we rode the 4 minute trip to the top.

Friday's rain kept us inside, but Saturday's sunshine sent us to the St. Louis Botanical Gardens. With spring flowers in bloom we enjoyed being outside today.

Beautiful time in St. Louis!
