St. Louis, Missour

Last minute change and added St. Louis to our itinerary.  Went to Budweiser Brewery tour today, was very hot 96 degrees today and humid.  The heat wave is following us.  Bud Light never tasted better, so cold and refreshing in this heat.  I had a Bud light and Land Shark.  Ben had a Land Shark and Amber Bach dark lager.  The girls were bored, except when we got to see the Clydesdales, they are such huge, beautiful horses.  The hotel had a happy hour with drinks and snacks, but it was enough for us for dinner.  The hotel is walking distance from the Arch, we even have a view of the arch and Mississippi River from our room.  Went to the Arch after "happy hour".  The Arch is on a large piece of property with manicured lawn.  Brianna and Taylor enjoyed rolling down the hill in the grass.  The Arch is 620 feet in the air, made of stainless steel and concrete, it took about three years to build.  They thought they would lose some men during the construction but luckily no one fell, though they did not have the security features they have in place today.  Ben and Brianna road the tram to the top and took a couple of pictures.  Taylor wouldn't go up, so I stayed down with her and we watched a movie about the construction of the arch, hence the info above.  Tomorrow we head for Mount Rushmore suppose it will take at least a couple days to get their unless we stop and it could take longer.
