Gateway to the West- St. Louis, Missouri

The Gateway Arch

The nation’s tallest monument at 630 feet, the Gateway Arch has beckoned visitors for more than 40 years with its iconic, awe-inspiring shape. The vision of renowned architect Eero Saarinen, the Gateway Arch commemorates Thomas Jefferson and St. Louis’ role in the westward expansion of the United States. A visit to St. Louis isn’t complete without standing at its base and playing professional photographer. (I stole this from the website!)


We had to get a closer view!

Mike is right in the middle of this picture.  The Arch was such a beautiful site to see in person.
