Early to Rise - Thirty Word Thursday

Early to bed, early to rise
doesn't necessarily make a man
healthy, wealthy, or wise
but it does create
the opportunity to see
some of God’s amazing work
first hand.

Gateway Arch

From where we live almost any trip going east takes us past the Gateway Arch in St. Louis, MO.  We've stopped on several occasions and have even ridden the tightly packed, bumpy ride to the top to peer out the windows at the mighty Mississippi River.  If you've never stopped at the arch, it's worth the time and there are plenty of other things to do in St. Louis while you're there.

These photos were all taken with our Canon Rebel XT and our Tamron lenses.

Missouri

For the past 10 years our family of 40 or so including grandparents, parents, kids, and grand-kids has gathered at various locations to spend a few days together, tell stories, celebrate the blessings we've received and see the sights.  The last few years we've made the trip to Missouri as it's only about a four hour drive and there are lots of things to do and see.  Below are some of my favorites from the past three years.  Enjoy!
