🇺🇸 St. Louis / Chicago, USA
< St. Louis >
St. Louis is a major city in Missouri along the Mississippi River.
It was my first time in America,
I couldn't get over how wide the roads were.
.
.
Can't go anywhere without a car!
So, best to rent one.
Voila!
.
.
🍴 First meal of the trip - Rally's
.
.
.
.
The main reason why we came to St. Louis was to help
my sister start her new chapter at Covenant Theological Seminary.
No joke..but this place is like Hogwarts.
B-E-A-utiful campus!
Photo of the campus, taken from their website.
It really is a lovely environment and I am so happy that
she is a part of this community.
You can roam around their website below : )

After days of moving in, we finally got time
to check out St. Louis before our trip to Chicago.
.
.
🐘 Saint Louis Zoo
Located in Forest Park
A selfie at the entrance of the Zoo.
.
.
Unfortunately, I didn't take a lot of photos due to the excitement...
Just took a bunch of selfies...ha
But check out their website for their prices, activities and shows!
.
.
We did a lot more, but sadly didn't take any more photos :(
.
.
Now here is one place you MUST visit!
.
.
.
📷 The Gateway Arch
There are nice cafes and restaurants in this area
and of course the 'Busch Stadium'.
.
.
.
.
🇺🇸 < Chicago >
A 4hr 30 drive from St. Louis to Chicago.
The drive is okay when
you've got a view like this for the whole way.
.
.
.
Finally, we arrived! In the hub of downtown Chicago, I discovered my first dimple.
.
.
.
Here are some of the things we did in Chicago.
.
.
.
📷 Millennium Park
"Millennium Park is a public park located in the Loop community area of Chicago in Illinois, US, and originally intended
to celebrate the second millennium."
Loved the Art work in the park!
.
.
We also visited 'The Art Institute of Chicago'.
.
.
.
💁 Cloud Gate
"The public sculpture is the centrepiece of the AT&T Plaza at Millennium Park,
by Indian-British artist Anish Kapoor, also known as "The Bean"."
I swear you could fry an egg on it....it was so hot.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND to visit the Millennium Park,
there is so much to see!
.
.
.
🏢 The Willis Tower Skydeck
Also referred to as 'Sears Tower',
is a 108-story, 1,450-foot skyscraper.
Sneaky peak of what it may feel like once you are up there.
Here we are!
.
.
The view was quite amazing...
Embrace the city of Chicago.
.
.
.
💃 Musical Night
Dirty Dancing at Cadillac Palace Theatre
Great musical!
It's worth spending a bit more to watch a musical or a play when in Chicago.
.
.
.
.
After a few days, we were back on the road to St.Louis!
As I write this, I am currently once again in St. Louis.
Came back from Chicago last week.
Definitely recommend you to visit both cities! Both are great places to rest.
