The Gateway Arch was the first stop for our day of sightseeing in St. Louis. We enjoyed the museum located under the arch which highlighted the westward expansion. In addition, we watched a fascinating documentary that focused on the construction of the arch. But the most fun was our tram ride to the top of the arch. We got really lucky in that we were the only visitors (plus one ranger) at the top of the arch. We were 630 feet above the city of St. Louis and had the views to ourselves!

After a quick bite to eat, we made our way to the Anheuser Busch factory for the brewery tour. This tour took us on a walk through the Anheuser Busch factory campus where we saw some Clydesdale horses and stables, as well as the different buildings for each stage of the beer brewing process. The tour concluded with a free beer in the Biergarten. This was another informative, great time!
