We grabbed lunch at Fitz’s, which has delicious root beer, and then headed downtown to check out the arch. We parked a few blocks away and cut through the Old Court House. It’s so beautiful and up next for renovations. 

This picture cracked me up. You know, summer in Saint Louis!

We got a sneak peak of the new arch museum. It looks really great and the girls had a great job exploring. 

After the arch we celebrated mine and Annabelle’s birthdays with dinner at the Capital Grill. 

We finished the night with a special light show at the Botanic Gardens.
