St. Louis Arch

Well, we’ve been through St. Louis, where we stopped to tour the Arch, and we’ve been to Iowa. We are now on our way back to North Carolina to make a quick last visit with my mother before heading to Atlanta. The Arch was really cool, and I’m glad we finally got to see it. We’ve been by it before without stopping. America is truly a work of art, spanning for seemingly endless miles. It is my prayer that ALL Americans can remember the basis for which our great country was founded; One nation under God. God has blessed us, may we all give Him praise and glory for what He has done.

Our visit in North Carolina is coming to a close. It has been a blessing to see family and friends. We leave today for our journey to Iowa. Sarah’s father and sister live there, so it will be a great visit for her. It’s a 1200 mile journey, so we will spread out the traveling over a couple days. I hope we can stop in St. Louis and visit the Arch. Cheers!

Today we are in Asheville, NC. We’ve spent the last few days in Atlanta, Georgia. It was a nice fourth, and it was cool to be in the USA to celebrate our independence. Tomorrow we will tour the Biltmore House here in this beautiful city. It was amazing to learn about the Vanderbilt family’s Dutch roots (van der Bilt). It feels great to be in the USA, and I’m looking forward to seeing my family and friends later on in the week.
