Today, July 16, we left the house at 5:30 to beat the traffic and head to St. Louis. We are staying in a nice condo downtown. We have a two-bedroom, two-bath. Ryan’s friend, Milton, ended up having a band thing and could not leave. His parents are driving here tomorrow and dropping him off. They have to get back, though
We are staying close to the city museum. Here are photos from the exterior. I heard it is a great museum. But Dane and Ryan were not sold on it until they saw it.

We spent the afternoon exploring where the Big Boy will be on Sunday, and finding other places to see trains. Both the Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern come through here. We found both. I drove right on the UP yard which you can see. I think Ryan was worried, but there were no signs saying we could not be there, so I told him the worst thing that could happen is that they tell us to leave. Here are a few photos. Oh, and also one of Dane wearing my hat. He and Ryan both forgot to bring a hat.
