Off to Kansas City on Saturday
Hi Again. We are still in St. Louis today, but leave for Kansas City on Saturday morning. Today is cooler (but not much) with overcast and a spit of rain or two. Yes, higher humidity.
We spent yesterday at the Jefferson Expansion Memorial (Arch). Took the tram to the top, got out and took pictures through windows and then called my Mother to tell her where we were. Saw the BIG screen Omni view of the National Geographic Lewis and Clark journey of 1804 into the new Louisiana Purchase, the documentary of the building of the Arch in the mid 1960's and spent a lot of time in the NPS museum. We didn't get home until nearly 10:PM as we chose to drive around to see some evening sites. The parking garage at the Arch takes vehicles up to 7 feet, and the pickup is just under that. I had to take down the CB antenna and the Cellular antenna so that they didn't get banged up.
The day before, we toured Grant's Farm, an original place that was owned by President Grant, and later owned by the Busch Family (Anheiser-Busch). Boy, the Clydsdales are big animals. Some of the old carriages and wagons are interesting, too. This farm has several hundred species of animals from all over the world that roam freely on the farm..no preditors that I am aware of. And the elephants are in large compounds.
Tonight we go to the Botanical Gardens for an exhibit of hand blown glass by Dale Chihully in the gardens. We hope for cool and dry.
Tomorrow, we want to see the A-H Brewery and the History Museum in Forest Park. We'll see if we can get up and running in the morning.
The packing of our friend when quite well. We helped out for a little over two weeks, then her daughter arrived from AZ and her son from Kansas City. Today, the commercial packers arrived, and tomorrow the moving van will load. We will pick up pictures and flowers on Saturday AM to put into the fifth wheel and the rear seat of the pickup. Betty will drive her Envoy to KC, Shawn will drive his Range Rover and Bev her Jaguar. We will caravan to KC. Unloading will be on Wednesday.
Until next time, Hugs to you all...
