St. Louis, MO. Leaving Illinois in the late afternoon we arrived in St. Louis around 7:30 ish. I was driving so I couldn’t look too closely, but I can still see the image in my mind. The arch in the distance and the Mississippi River, two more firsts for us and I remember thinking, “This is where it all started; the westward movement of those who came before us.”
