The Arch...

...remember last week I said I was at conference downtown all week? Well, during one of our breaks, my co-workers and I took a walk to the St. Louis Arch. It's really a fascinating place and amazing to look at it. I love heading downtown and seeing the Arch, it just gives me this warm, fuzzy feeling like I'm so close to American history.

I had Matt (from work) and Paula make a human arch. It was too cold and wet to lay down on the ground but that would have been a really cool picture.
This picture is taken from right underneath the Arch looking straight up.

Another fun view of the Arch:

This picture is zoomed in. These are the windows at the top of the Arch. I was sure to wave in case anyone was looking down at me. So wave to the people inside the Arch everyone!

So there you have it, just some pictures of my part of the US. The St. Louis Arch! Fun stuff. OH random fact: My husband has lived less than an hour from the Arch his ENTIRE life and he's NEVER been inside. I've offered many times but he says that it's "his" thing and he refuses. I don't blame him though, the older you are, the scarier the carts are that you ride in to go to the top.
