Visiting St. Louis
Not part of the original plan to be going through St. Louis now
We did a Priceline deal at the very last minute coming into St. Louis (I didn't think it would work, but Tony insisted), and I was impressed with how great a place it got us, we were able to walk RIGHT across the street to the Arch! (And of course, the hotel wasn't too shabby either - perhaps the best place we'll stay on ...
WE GONE
Hey, we're on the road again. We finally got things in good enough shape to leave on

I had a vegetable omelette and Jon had eggs with sausage gravy. The cofee was pretty good. For a diner in STL it wasnt bad..but we all know NJ has ...
