Louisville Slugger Factory354 viewsOur next stop was the Louisville Slugger Factory and Museum. Here is where they make the world-famous wooden bats. We went on the tour, and got to take home a 'mini-bat' as well. Outside the factory is a huge bat, which we posed with here.

Churchill Downs347 viewsOur first stop was the Kentucky Derby Museum and Churchill Downs. Neither of us had the slightest clue when it came to horse racing or the Kentucky Derby, but the museum explained it all and was quite interesting.

Cathy at Top of Gateway Arch345 viewsBeing the vain people we are, we had to snap some photos of each other while we were up on the top of the arch as well.

Old Chain of Rocks Bridge341 viewsWe took the long way out of town to stop and see the Old Chain of Rocks Bridge. This bridge was where Route 66 crossed the Mississippi River, and closed to traffic in 1967. Fortunately, it was recently reopened as a bike/walking trail.

Union Station338 viewsA view of the Union Station, which used to be a grand train station, and now has been converted to a shopping mall and hotel. The building itself is very elegant, and it's always nice to see a piece of history preserved.

Monkey See336 viewsThis guy seemed pretty photogenic as well. He's behind glass, which caused some reflections, but it's still a fun picture.
|
|
Museum of Westward Expansion332 viewsUnderneath the arch, under the grass, is a large museum called the Museum of Westward Expansion. It chronicled the reason for the arch's existence -- the commemoration of the Lewis and Clark expedition and the settling of the West, in which St. Louis played a key role. There was also a small model of the arch, which a friendly employee offered to snap our picture near.
