One of the great things about traveling with my mother-in-law, Shirley, is that she loves taking in the sights by car, whether we're in L.A., Portland, OR, or NYC. Here are some of the highlights from our driving tour of St. Louis. First stop, the Jewel Box, an Art Deco-style structure built in 1936 in Forest Park:

No trip to St. Louis is complete without seeing the arch. For your viewing pleasure, the Gateway to the West as seen looking east:
