St Louis : First for some things

They say there's always a start for some things. On Labor Day Weekend 2008, Amanda and I drove to St. Louis and stayed for 2.5 days there. Went to several places:
- Gateway Arch
- Top of the Riverfront
- History Museum
- City Museum
- Art Museum
- Science Museum and Planetarium
- Grand Basin & Forest Park Area
- Botanical Garden (where they had a Japanese Festival)
- St. Louis Union Station
- Cathedral Basilica

2.5 was packed with activities.

Here's the list of my first times during the trip :
1. Riding a non vertical elevator (in the Gateway Arch).
2. Having dinner (pre and during sunset) on the 28th floor in a revolving restaurant (Top of the Riverfront).
3. Riding Segway (Science Center)
4. Be afraid in a museum (City Center) and in a botanical garden
5. Wearing Yukata
6. Experiencing again that feeling of entering a European church, in the States (Cathedral Basilica is definitely a shortcut to Rome).

Was a unique journey.
