Sydney Goes West

Tuesday June 26th, 2007
We left our hotel in Indiana about 6:30 this morning. As we were traveling we noticed that Sydney started into a pattern of sleeping when content and moving around and barking when she wasn't. So we stopped few times to water and walk her. We arrived in Missouri sometime around 9 or so. We then realized that we were headed to St. Louis where the arch is. Seeing our opportunity we headed to the Mississippi river and Jefferson park. What a beautiful morning!





When we arrived at the park, we found that we needed to take an elevator to the top of the arch. Well what would we do with Sydney? Michelle's Dad graciously took Sydney while we waited. We rode up in tiny little pod like rooms. Each one was tied together like a train. Each of the "pods" had five seats. We were 6 (Michelle, Sean, Meghan, Alyse Dawson, Michael Dawson and myself) so Meghan rode on my lap.









After reaching the top we were able to look out the windows and see Michelle's Dad with Sydney. They show as small specks in this photo:















We continued taking some pictures and looking around.










Then we hurried back down the arch. We have miles to go before we sleep (in Kansas) tonight. We hustled out to get Sydney and leave.











After traveling around 675 miles today, we stopped at a Hampton Inn at 3801 Vine St Hays, Kansas. Tomorrow -
The Final Leg
