Our trip was awesome. Good friends, good food, fun times. You don't appreciate 45 degree weather until you have been in the negatives for a few days. The weather was very nice on Saturday. Sunday was a little cloudy and cooler but that was fine by me.
Saturday afternoon we walked over to the Arch but the line was too long to go to the top so we toured the museum instead. Saturday night we went to a Blues hockey game and then to a casino.

Fight..Fight...Fight!!
This was my first trip to a casisno and boy was it fun. The sounds, the lights, the music. I can't wait to go back. Jimmy and I decided to be high rollers and placed $4 into a penny slot machine. On my first spin I took our $4 and made it into $11 and then to $18. I was happy. Then on the next few machines I saw my $20 dollars diminish to 14 to 10 then to a 1.65. In one last attempt Jimmy bet everything and we made out with a win of $20, so we cashed out and our high rolling night was over.

The next day we spent our winnings to visit the top of the Arch. I was surprised to see the cart or so I called it "space orb" that we had to ride in to get to the top. It was a tiny circular cart that fit five people. I must admitt that I get a tiny bit claustrophobic, so needless to say I was a wee bit nervous about traveling in such a small contraption.
The view from above. You can see part of the arch on the right.
It really wasn't scary at all and the trip was short and fun. You travel up inside of the arch and you can see the shape of it and how it was built. Once you are there you can sort of lay down and take in the view from above. It was really cool!! This is a replica of the cart we traveled in. There are 8 linked together and they travel up to the top.
After the visit to the arch we rode over to Anheuser Bucsh and toured the brewery. Very fun!! I will say that Miller gives you three samples and Busch gives you two. Bucsh was much bigger and prettier and you get to ride a trolley and see the clydedales. So, more glitz and glam or more beer....what's your pick?
