Gateway to the West

Over the spring break we visited St. Louis, the gateway to the west. We rode the little egg-shaped elevator up to the top of the arch. We also took Grandma to the zoo, and we had some nice pork chops at Jim's, my dad's old Army buddy. We saw Jesse James' hideout, the Meramac Caverns. Uncle Tom helped usher in Easter over at St. Joseph's. Uncle Don showed us his log cabin on the lake over in House Springs. I bought a masarap loaf of cinnamon raisin bread over at the St. Louis Bread Company over on Delmar. I wish we could have stayed in St. Louis longer, but I didn't want miss my Tiny Tots class. It ended up that class was cancelled anyway because Miss Judy's husband died. We've been praying for Miss Judy and her family. I hope she comes back to Tiny Tot's soon.
