While we were driving here from Muscatine, I learned that "Gateway to the West" is a nickname for St. Louis. I had no idea!Kristin says the name comes from the Gateway Arch, a HUGE arch-shaped structure in downtown St. Louis. I got to see the Gateway Arch from the car. It is silver and kind of looks like half of the top of a McDonald's sign. I can also see it from Kristin's hotel room.
Kristin says people can buy tickets and ride to the top of the Gateway Arch. I asked Kristin if we could go to the top of Gateway Arch but she told me we might not have enough time. She says we have a VERY special place that we have to be soon and she told me I need to make sure to bring my coat.Hmmm...I wonder where we are going? Kristin told me to be patient. She is getting ready and she promises to tell me soon. I hope she hurries! It is hard to be patient.
Bye for now....
