Camp Cowling draws to an end on day 4. It has been a blast and our cups are full. Mark and I hope that we have created some new memories. With three growing boys, 6 month old Ruby and Mark and I in one RV we had to get creative with storage and had to keep belongings in their places. But it worked. We will see if the boys decide they want to be in a tent in a couple of years.
After looking at the Gateway Arch for 4 days from the RV park, the boys were glad to finally go up in it.
Well, not so much Austin but he braved it with a little support from meme and papa. Austin isn’t a big fan of heights.
The monument we know today began in 1935, when President Franklin D. Roosevelt designated property along the St. Louis riverfront to be developed as the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial (now known as Gateway Arch National Park).
While the land was cleared for construction, the City of St. Louis deeded the Old Courthouse to the National Park Service to be incorporated into the Memorial.
In 1948, a nationwide design competition determined what shape the Memorial would take, and in 1963, construction began for a stainless steel arch.
Completed in 1965, the mid century modern Gateway Arch serves as a invitation to explore the west.
Nolan dreaming of the big leagues!
