Stop Number One: St. Louis!

Hello!!!!

...From St. Louis, Missouri!

We are sitting in the living room at my aunt and uncle's house having a great visit.

We left early yesterday morning from my (Natalie's) parents house.  Our drive took just a little over fourteen hours, and we have spent today touring St. Louis and hanging out with my aunt and uncle, cousin, and sister Melissa.

Bela got her first look at the St. Louis Arch, and we went all the way up to the top.  It seemed appropriate that on our trip out west, that we go visit the Gateway to the West.  Afterward we had lunch at a place called Pi, a super delicious pizza place.  And then after that we had concretes from Ted Drewe's a famous custard shop that used to be along the old Route 66.

We finished the evening at Fazoli's with my aunt and uncle.  And now it's time to sign off and get back to visiting with family, because we have an early morning!
