Day 32: The Gateway Arch

July 19

I can't believe today is our last full official day and tomorrow we will be home.  It has been an amazing and wonderful trip, one I know I will never forget. 

We were up and headed to the Gateway Arch by 7:30 because we had an 8:20 tour time. It was overcast threatening to rain. We have been lucky so far with only two evenings that rained this entire trip. 

  There was a ton of construction in St. Louis but we were lucky to find a handicapped parking spot on the road. Mom and Dad walked to the court house while the boys and I headed to the Arch to take the 4 minute tram to the top. 

After our trip to the top Mom and Dad joined us to watch a 30 minute video on how The Gateway Arch was made. Unfortunately the museum was closed for construction. 

We were back at our campsite and packed up by 11:00. We had a 5 hour drive to East Nashville KOA.  We arrived around 5:00, set up and Nupa and the boys headed to the pool while I did laundry and Mom started dinner. 

Tomorrow we will get up leisurely and head 5 and a half hours home. I have truly enjoyed seeing all of the United States and look forward to planning a shorter trip for next summer. Anyone up for a road trip?
