Summer Road Trip 2010-Day 2

7/2/10: Day 2 started from Jackson. Missouri is a beautiful state; we really enjoyed our drive through the rolling, green countryside to St. Louis. We planned it right – I ordered tickets for both the arch and the Lewis & Clark movie and we got there just in time for the 9:20 arch tram ride. We enjoyed the ride in the “egg” to the top of the arch and got to check out a literal bird’s eye view of St. Louis. The Missouri river was really, really high and looked almost menacing from up there. By the time we got back to the bottom of the arch the lines were humongous. We popped right into the 10:30 showing of the Imax film, did a little shopping and we were heading out.

Apparently, St. Louis really puts on one phenomenal Fourth of July show. We couldn’t help but stop to enjoy the aerial practicing of the stunt performers who would be showing their stuff the next day.

We crossed through Indiana, entered Ohio and headed to Aunt Lisa & Uncle Alan’s house in Bowling Green.
