St. Louis

I guess I havent been updating in a long long time!

Here are photos of a roadtrip we made to St. Louis, Missouri. There was nothing spectacular there. The midwestern area is really quite boring. However, we all came back with special memories of unforgettable company and thus I guess that's all that matters. =)

Driving over a bridge, above the Mississippi River.

The Mississippi River!

I was quite excited about seeing this river. Not quite what I had imagined it to be like though.

This is where we had our lunch.

The two boys

and us.

First stop of the day: Anheuser-Busch Brewery.

There were pretty horses that looked dressed for christmas, for reasons nobody knows. The horses just stand in one position 24/7. Must be a pretty boring life.

We joined the brewery tour, where we learned how to brew wine!

After the tour, there was a free flow of beer and pretzels.

After all this time in America, I still hate beer. Oh well.

Next stop: Gateway Arch!

This is all of us.

Last desperate stop in St. Louis. A baseball stadium.

This is at an outlet mall, Tuscola. Huiling bought this luggage bag, where we stuffed all our purchases in. We must have looked like mad people, dragging this all over the place.

We rearranged the boys' closet for them while they were returning the car.

Very neat, no?

On a side note, Zong won an award for having the cleanest room in Sherman Hall. Wow!
