Off to St. Louis for a long weekend...

We had a good time visiting a city that we had never been to together this last weekend. We took a long four day weekend and had a fun visit to the Gateway to the West.

Joe getting his first look from the top of the arch

Of course we couldn't miss the "Dinoraurus" exhibit at the St. Louis Zoo. Jorge knows all the dinosaurs and would tell us what they were before we even got to them.

Dad and kids in front of Jorge's favorite - the Tyrannosaurus Rex (T-Rex for short)

Jorge and Lucy see one of the Elephants

Mom, Lucy and a grumpy Jorge by the Giraffes

The Sea Lions were amazing

This guy could even ring the overhead bell
