The Arch!

Greg and the girls get up early and go for a swim before Charlie and I wake up.  They come back to the room energized for the day.  We head for the St. Louis arch and have a fabulous ride in.  We find parking and get some tickets.  We finally find some drinkable coffee inside the visitors center...we do miss the Dunkin Doughnuts on every corner back in Boston!

We head to the top of the arch in these little cars...the top has an amazing view but you can feel it moving! 
This is Charlie's view from the top of the arch.

We head on to the Western edge of Indiana where we set up camp and head into Louisville to catch a minor league baseball game, the Louisville Bats.  We all have a good time, Charlie loves the mascot who is Buddy the Bat, but Charlie calls him "My Buddy".  We see the home team win which is always fun!

We head back to our little campground and listen to chicken trucks coming across the little bridge by the river next to the campground all night long...turns out there is a Purdue plant very close.  The air smells like the county fair! I stay up and start the laundry and make a late night grocery store run so we have some provisions in our cooler again!
