Travel Pt. 2

Another of my favorite cities would have to be St. Louis.  If you have a family with young children, I can't think of a cheaper vacation destination.  There is so much to do in St. Louis and it will be very easy on the checkbook.  From the Magic House, to Grant's Farm, the St. Louis Zoo, and of course a Cardinals game, your kids will have the time of their lives.  This particular photo of the St. Louis skyline with the Gateway Arch has an interesting story behind it.  When I shared it on Facebook after our vacation, alot of my friends asked me how I was able to get the shot.  Well, the hotel we stayed in was in downtown St. Louis because we planned on going to a Cardinals game and our previous trip we noticed there was very little parking by the stadium.  We wanted to be within walking distance, so we chose the downtown Sheraton (only about 3 blocks from Busch Stadium).  At the time, we didn't have our pool yet and the hotel had one and of course the kids thought they HAD to go swimming.  Come to find out, the pool at the hotel was on the top floor.  When we got to the top floor, I noticed that there were a bunch of conference rooms on the east side of the hotel.  So, I opened one of the doors to go see if it had a good view.  When I got to the window, below is what was staring at me.  I turned the flash off on the camera and went to the window and this is what I came up with.  Hope you enjoy our view of the skyline that night and thanks for taking a look.

One last thing, check back in October for new specials of the month.
