St. Louis Arch via the Metro

I'm backtracking a little with this post, but it's a worthy post...

After being here for two weeks, we decided to go to the Arch. Now, we were all tired and worn out from house hunting and just the hustle and bustle of arriving in a new town, but we (G and I) decided we could handle it! We hopped on the Metro (I do mean hopped on; it was pretty easy to figure out compared to trying to ride the train in Korea). It was about a 20 minute ride, stopping right at the arch. It was a nice day, but we just didn't take into consideration the tiredness of the kiddos! Stay tuned for the rest of the story...

Here we are boarding the metro

Isn't this gorgeous?? I should be making money for this shot

G and the kids at the base of the Arch. This is about the time everyone started falling apart, and I do mean pretty much everyone! Jordan and Jannah got really upset because we decided not to go up to the top, due to the wait time. I got mad, because my oldest son would NOT cooperate for anymore pics. Greg, well he was just trying to stay calm...he had to try, since no one else was!

Most of us had regained our composure here...you might notice that Jordan isn't in the picture...he was still not so, um... happy.

baby J lost in the grass...have I mentioned how much we are all enjoying the grass?

After visiting the Arch, we decided to go downtown to eat. Even though everyone was tired, we had to eat supper! So, we found the Old Spaghetti Factory and put our name on the waiting list, and started waiting for 45 minutes to an hour. That's exactly what you should do when you have three tired kids and two worn out adults...don't you agree? So, guess what we did, we found something else to occupy their minds and ours too! We went on a carriage ride, all to the tune of 15 minutes for 45 dollars...we were desperate. No, seriously, it was fun and we all enjoyed it!

This was a view of the arch from the metro station, as we were waiting to go back home...with super sleepy kids, who all fell asleep within minutes of moving. The best part was getting them all off the train and to the car, as they were totally OUT!

Have I ever mentioned that I'm crazy about this man? By the way, Jannah was our photographer here, she'll be happy take your pics for you when you're ready, for a small fee!
