Photos from my St. Louis trip. Sorry for posting SO many, but I couldn't narrow it down! I take waaaaay too many photos of the same things. I hope the sizes are okay...I tried to make them smaller on photobucket but it wasn't working for some reason. There are a lot of the arch, but I actually got some pretty unique pics too. :)
1.
We stopped by President Abraham Lincoln's childhood home on the way to St. Louis because my dad is a history nerd.

The sign reads:
You are facing the wooded knoll on which sleeps Nancy Hanks Lincoln, mother of the President who lived in this hoosier environment during the formative years of his life from 1816 to 1830. Beyond, to the north, is marked the site of the humble log cabin where she led him for a little while along the path to greatness.

I LOVE these next few photos. I don't usually get candid shots this cute. The parents were walking behind us, so I don't think they noticed me taking pics of the kids. :P

I think this next one is the meat house behind the Lincoln cabin. I think it's pretty. I didn't go inside, though.

I like this one a lot. You can really see how big it is with those kids next to it.

Lol, I'm such an astronomy nerd. When I saw this pic, I was like "Diamond ring effect!" (kinda) :P
48.
Cool, huh? Can't remember if this pic (49) was an accident or if I actually meant it to be like that...
