The Arch





We saved the Arch and the Westward Expansion Museum for our last day in St. Louis.  It was a goofy, backwards way to do things, but I wanted to go to the Arch on Thursday so we could also attend a session of the Storytelling Festival that would be located inside the museum.  The morning was beautiful and we enjoyed taking it all in.  The Arch was breathtaking and the museum below was great.  We studied Lewis and Clark for weeks prior to our vacation.  The girls loved seeing posters and displays of things that they already knew.  It was a privilege to witness their genuine excitement about American History.

While researching things to do on vacation I found the St. Louis Storytelling Festival on an events calendar somewhere on the web.  We attended two of the sessions for children.  Our family thoroughly enjoyed them both.  I found a YouTube of one of the storytellers, Randall McGee. Here you go.
