Day 9: Gateway Arch - At the top

After a couple of days of being under the weather, we finally felt well enough to make it to the Gateway Arch. Yet another example of the variety of amazing things our country has to offer.

Every National Park we visit is unique; when asked which one is our favorite, you can’t easily pick just one. I do wish we had more time to stay at each park to really dig in deeper to see everything each park offers. We just scratch the surface. This is why doing the Jr. Ranger Badges is a helpful activity. It directs you to key points and things to learn about in the park you are visiting.

Last year, off the cost of Cozumel, Mexico inside a submarine, I got to kiss my wife 105 feet under the ocean. Today, I kissed her 633 feet above the ground at he top of the Gateway Arch.

The design of the tram cars is a mechanical feat. Also, they built the arch with enough space to create a way to transport people to the top - but they didn’t have a plan on how they would do it. Very interesting details in the museum on the whole history and process of building this iconic symbol.Okumaya devam et
