The last stop on our trip was St. Louis. That is about 5 hours from Des Moines but we just couldnt finish driving all day and we knew that it would be a longer trip for the kids, so we stayed in a hotel downtown over looking the Arch. That was neat for us. We also took a tour of Busch/Budweiser brewery. We got free drinks at the end so that was neat. We both tried Peppermint Bacardi, something new that they are coming out with. We saw the budweiser clydesdales. They were beautiful. We definately could have spent more time in St. Louis but we just wanted to get home and enjoy the evening together because Chris went back to work.
