Missouri Part 2: The Gateway Arch

Day 2 in Missouri we went to the Gateway Arch! We had tried to go the night before, but we got there 15min to late. The next morning we packed up the camper and headed into St Louis on the way to Mansfield. It was quite an adventure with the camper in the city:) You have to park all campers and bus on this road along the Mississippi. The river was flooding while we were there and they were closing all the roads going off of the road we were on! The only road open was this narrow little brick alley in old town St. Louis! It was quite interesting trying to drive the camper up that road

 

 The Arch was a lot of fun! It was really busy there though. It rained so the pictures aren’t the best.

 









The flooded Mississippi!




The kids love Calvin and Hobes and we found this wall with a comic panted on it!
