St. Louis, MO

 We went to St. Louis for the weekend and had so much fun!  Our hotel was adjacent to the arch and we had a fabulous view of the Mississippi River from our balcony on the 15th floor.  We took Jiles to the St. Louis Zoo, Cathedral Basilica and Cabela's.  She really enjoyed pointing and "barking" at all the animals!    (Roxy taught her how to bark a few days prior to our trip.)  Here are some pics from our weekend....

Jiles loved the balcony!

She got this when we went to "The Hill" for dinner!
