The Arch
St. Louis, MO
The arch was built as a monument to the westward expansion of the United States.
It is the tallest man-made monument in the US (at 630 feet tall).
Heading out on our adventure to see the arch.
Grace is constantly pointing out the arch to us. Whenever she catches a glimpse of it, she'll announce, "I see the arch!!!!" So we figured she'd like a closer look.
However, we chose not to go up to the top. You can ride up in a 5 person elevator, however the elevator is about the size of most people's bathroom in their house. No thanks. It made me uncomfortable just looking at the elevator, let alone going 630 feet up in the air.
Even though we didn't take the elevator ride, it was still fun to run around in the park and shop inside the monument.
Thanks to G-ma, Grace has started a collection of magnets from a few of the places we have traveled and, of course, she was very excited when we bought her a pink and purple arch magnet.
