Since the weather was spectacular today, we decided to run over to St. Louis and check out the Botanical Gardens. Unfortunately, so did half the population of Missouri and Illinois. It was mobbed. We gave up and decided to head down to the Arch. As we passed the off-ramp to the zoo, traffic was backed up onto I-64. It was (pardon the pun) a zoo there as well. But it wasn’t bad at all down by the river. We easily found a parking space and walked through the park to the Arch. Pretty impressive. We were just glad we got to do something after traveling all the way over there.
