Day off in St. Louis/Build day in Springfield, MO

Hey Everyone!
Now that I'm almost all the way across the great state of Missouri (The Show-Me State) I have a lot to write about my experiences there. A highlight of my time in Missouri was our day off in St. Louis. St. Louis had a lot of things to do, and I only had one day there, so I packed in the excursions! In the morning, I went to breakfast at Union Station, which is a mall that used to be a train station. Then I went to the City Museum, which was incredible! It wasn't your typical museum at all! It was an extremely hands-on, interactive museum. There were places to climb and caves to crawl though and slides and stuff that you would think only little kids get to do anymore. That was a great time! Then we went to the famous arch or "The Gateway to the West," (which is appropriate for our trip!). I rode up 630 feet above ground to the top of the inside of the arch, and from there I could see the Mississippi river on one side (which was acctually overflowing from some recent floods they had there). On the other side I had a gorgeous view of the downtown St. Louis area.
We stayed one night at a Boy Scout campground which turned out to be next to a creepy graveyard and old, haunted-looking church...we ended up sleeping in an unfinished house there and it thunderstormed all night! Talk about CREEPY!
We did 2 century days in a row into Springfield, MO which was tough, but fun. In Springfield, we had a build day, where we helped out with a Blitz Build, which is a build where Habitat builds a whole house in 1 week, mainly for publicity. I got help put up trestles (which are part of the roof of the house). That night, we went to the famous Bass Pro Shop, which was a huge camping store with real turtles and fish in it also.
Now it's on to Kansas....
