Though we've technically been in St. Louis once before, in reality we only passed through on our way to a concert at Chuck Berry's during an extended weekend pass while undergoing basic training at Ft. Leonard Wood. Hard to believe that was almost 35 years ago! (I'm sure Lisa agrees; happy birthday to you!)

So this being our first real visit to St. Louis, one of our first stops was the Gateway Arch. Very impressive.

Of course I took photos, and there are a bunch more at flickr.
