We went to St. Louis for a mini family vacation over New Years' weekend.
We visited the Gateway Arch--the tallest monument in the country.
We took a quick run through the museum in the Visitor's Center before it closed for the day.
Even though we had tickets for our ride to the top of the Arch, we had to wait…and wait…for our turn. Our time at the top was brief in comparison, but oh, what a view!
Emma was nervous at the top. OK, so was I. It was a windy evening, and the Arch didn't exactly stay still.

We went to the Old Spaghetti Factory for dinner--a family favorite--and the kids had fun swimming in the hotel pool that evening. The next morning, we went to the Magic House--a wonderful children's museum in the St. Louis area.
The crew loved climbing around in Jack's Beanstalk.
Nathan liked the "bubble room."
The boys spent a lot of time repairing their car.
Emma and Clara, however, were done with the children's museum after an hour or two, so the girls and I headed back downtown to see more of the Arch's museum.
I loved loved so many of the quotes posted throughout the exhibit.
