We really lucked out with the weather in St. Louis. The really hot air was to our West and the really rainy and humid air was to our east, so a perfect sunny day with temperatures in the mid 80's. We all voted and decided to have a nice cooked breakfast of pancakes and bacon and sausage to start the day out well. Then we headed off to the St. Louis Zoo. The zoo bills itself as a free zoo, but what they don't mention is parking is $15 then any exhibit with a little show or that is special is an added fee. We opted to skip the fees and just wander. The kids rated it about a 8 on the kids scale. Nice place.
We relaxed around the campground for the afternoon then headed the very short drive, literally just across the Mississippi River to downtown St. Louis where we had a delicious dinner and then headed over to the gateway arch for a trip up at sunset. Before heading up, Daniel and Alex participated in the Jr. ranger program and each earned their badge. The view was spectacular although Daniel still had some issues with the tight quarters in the elevator ride up. Overall the Arch got a 10.
Tonight we packed up and said our goodbyes to St. Louis.
