Whew! What a day! Our day's activities began in downtown St. Louis at the Riverfront / Arch with a tram ride up to the top of the arch. For those of you who have not been, we do not mean the Disney-parking lot kind of tram; this was more like a pod for 5 small people! The cramped, creaking ride up to the top was very much worth it, as the view at the top was spectacular! Look at this great picture of the shadow of the arch that Mr. Randall took from the top.
Next, we had a little bit of time to explore the museum, which centered on the Lewis & Clark Expedition, as well as the gift shop before watching a movie about the Lewis & Clark Expedition. Once the movie was over we boarded our bus and headed to the Old Courthouse, for a short performance. Not only was the Old Courthouse a historical building (the Dred Scott cases were argued here), but it was also a beautiful space to sing in. Next we boarded our bus to go back to the Riverfront to enjoy a one hour lunch cruise.
The late afternoon found us back in the hotel for a brief bit of rest before returning to downtown St. Louis for the Cardinals game. While not the most exciting game, nor a win for the home team, members of the Chattanooga Boys Choir had a fun time cheering them on.
We're off to bed so that we can be ready for our early start tomorrow as we head to Chicago - we'll be seeing the Blue Man Group tomorrow night!
