We loved our visit to St. Louis in the “Show Me State,” Missouri.

The downtown area of St. Louis is very walkable. The Citygarden Scuplture Park was designed for larger works of art to be displayed on wide lawns. There are 24 sculptures to explore and learn about.

St. Louis’ City Hall is modeled after the city hall in Paris. A gorgeous building inside and out.

Part of the National Park grounds is the Old Courthouse. The first Dred Scott decision was rendered here.

Gateway Arch National Park, formerly known as the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial until 2018, is near the starting point of the Lewis and Clark Expedition.

I loved the below view of the arch. The view is from Malcolm W. Martin Memorial Park located in Illinois on the bank of the Mississippi River. They have a camera that takes pictures 24 hours a day that you can download.

Below you can see me, Scott and Buddy posing at dusk in front of the arch. So cool!!

The tram to the top had just opened and we were fortunate that it was just us and one other couple. Below is a view straight down to the park grounds.

We also met some new friends, Bob and Dot, in our RV Park. They took us out for some delicious ribs in their hometown of Kansas City the following week.. Thank you so much!!!

We were also able to visit with Don and Nancy in Kansas City (sorry no new picture).

We will be making our way to Texas from the Midwest to finish out the year.
