Jewel BoxNear the zoo is a conservatory called the Jewel Box. It had recently been restored before we visited, so it looked great inside. The design of the building, which was built in the 1930's, was somewhat unique for a greenhouse in that all the glass panes are perpendicular to the ground. This was to help prevent hail damage.

Museum of TransportationThe morning we left St. Louis, we stopped at the Museum of Transportation. Since we like trains, and most of the museum was about trains, this was a lot of fun to look at. In the picture to the left, an old engine is being restored.

Route 66 MemorbeliaPartway across the bridge was an information area, with some nostalgic signs, an old gas pump, and an old car. In this picture, Cathy poses near some of these.
