224/365: Revisiting My Childhood (Sorta)

Growing up an hour away from St. Louis, I have been to the city many times. More times than I can count. The place I have been the most is probably the St. Louis Zoo, and probably because it is FREE.

The zebras were amazing, but they were no match for the cuteness of the giraffes....



That baby giraffe was pretty much the cutest thing I have ever seen....



Well, maybe except for this. Maybe...



We headed to the famous Delmar Loop and more specifically, Blueberry Hill for lunch.



The toasted ravioli did not disappoint.



We headed over to FroYp for some frozen yogurt. You get to choose your flavor and toppings and pay by the ounce. Yum!



Seth wanted rootbeer floats from Fitz's. FYI, that's a split rootbeer float. Wowza.



After some chillaxing we headed down to the arch. We stood in line for a very, very long time while we waited to ride to the top.



The view was amazing and the timing was perfect to view the sunset. So beautiful!



Seth and me at the very tip-top! The Asian guy taking our picture made us stand apart so you could see the picture behind us. Haha!

  1. I've always wanted to ride to the top of that thing. Is it expensive?

  2. I think it was 10 bucks a person. Seems like a lot, but it is a national monument and the view was pretty good. And once you get to the top you can stay as long as you want!
