Roadtrip day 2
Here’s day 2 recap from my roadtrip. We woke up in St. Louis and decided to go to the Gateway arch. The arch is really a staple of the city. My boyfriend had never been before so I suggested it be the first thing we do. We saw the beautiful courthouse which is sadly under construction currently.
The arch is so much bigger up close than you realize. We started buying going through the museum before making it up to the top. The view from the arch is absolutely breathtaking. It’s something that everyone should get to experience in their lives. We took pictures in front of the arch and then walked around the city and found some restaurants to eat at.
Stay tuned for day 3!
