April 2007
We went on a quick 3 night 4 day trip to visit family before our wedding but it was a new experience for us. We flew into St. Louis and drove into Southern Illinois to a few small towns. Then on our last day we went sightseeing in St. Louis. 
Historical bridge outside of Chester, Illinois.
We went to Chester, Illinois this is where the maker of popeye lived. They have a popeye statue and a popeye museum. Really old stuff in the museum. We also went and saw the Mississippi River.
Our St. Louis sightseeing day we went to the St. Louis Zoo. It was a Monday so it was not busy but children on field trips. The zoo is free to enter. My personal favorite exhibt was the penguins because you walked into this building there were aquariums on each side of you and the penguins were jumping out and sitting right next to you. Really cool!! 
We had some more time before we had to go to the airport so we went the the Arch. It was a little busy but while you wait they have a museum and gift shops. You take a little capsule up the arch. the whole ride takes about 2 minutes up. 
The views from up t
here were beautiful.
