    St. Louis pictures... from our trip...

    I am finally getting around to posting my pictures from the St. Louis trip we just took.. We had soooo much fun. We went to the Weapons of Power 2003 conference.
    Our hotel was right down the street from the arch... we rode up it and it was SO SCARY!!! I am proud to say I did it and didn't chicken out... but I won't do it again!

    Here is our first look at St. Louis...




    Here we are getting closer. The arch is SO BIG in person!!!!!



    Here we are crossing over the Mississippi river...



    we are walking to the arch in this picture...



    *more pictures coming*

    I am standing under the arch here... it stands 630 feet tall... *sounding like a tour guide*



    When you ride to the top of the arch... you are in these egg shaped pods... they are soooo tiny. You can't even stand up in them. They hold 5 people and I think they ride on cables.. like an elevator.... Here we are at the top this picture is looking out to the west.



    and now, ladies and gentlemen, if you look out this window... you will see out to the east... it is looking over the Mississippi River.



    another pic of the Mississippi..... I thought it was cool cause you can see the shadow of the arch

    and here is a picture looking DOWN!!... I could never tell you people how SCARY this was!!! You could tell you were not standing on solid ground... and I kept feeling like I was going to fall through the floor...



    and here is Eric and me.... at the top of the arch... I was HATING IT!!!!... and was having to fight back the tears so I would look like such a big scardy cat!!!!!



    Well that is all.... hope yall enjoyed!

    I've always wanted to go to St. Louis to stalk Nelly.

    Glad you had fun. I can sometimes, on a clear day, see the arch, standing at the road behind my house. It's cool.

    I was wondering if anyone here was from St. Louis... but I couldn't figure out how to search it...

    Have you ever ridden up the arch??

    Yep, I've ridden up to the arch plenty of times... more like I've passed it on my way to somewhere else. I've never been up into it. I plan on going into it sometime soon with my boyfriend. How'd you like Missouri?

    Sara, your pictures are great!! Scott took his kids to St. Louis last summer. His dad lives there. I think he needs to go back and take Helen and me too!! I remember that while he was gone, I said "please don't ever leave again without taking us with you". A few weeks later, he asked me to marry him!!! One year ago this past weekend!!! We will get to St. Louis one day, together. And we'll go up in the arch too!!!!!

    No, it was a revival. Have you heard of Juanita Bynum? She holds the Weapons of Power conference every year.... and I was really blessed to be able to go this year..... It sold out and I know there was over 10,000 people there... and the first night everyone is supposed to wear white... It was sooooo POWERFUL.


    If you have never heard Juanita Bynum preach.... you might want to check her out. Other than my pastor she is my FAVORITE ... she preaches on t.v. a lot, on TBN and other channels I'm sure.
