Once in St. Louis, Archie, Melissa, and Sherri went and found the cake at the Gateway Arch. The Gateway Arch is now a monument for Thomas Jefferson and other pioneers that used St. Louis as, "The Gateway to the West." After Archie was done with his photo-shoot at the Arch, Melissa and her mom decided to go up into the Arch for some sightseeing. Archie was afraid of the elevator and the height, so he stayed in Melissa's purse until the Arch trip was over. The Gateway Arch is located at 100 Washington Avenue, St. Louis, MO and has a latitude of 38.624953 and a longitude at -90.18429.
After the excitement of finding the cake at the Gateway Arch, the group decided to go find more! The second cake they came across was the cake at the Old Post Office. The Old Post Office is 1 of 5 U.S. Custom Houses built after the war in the fastest growing cities. It is now, the only surviving building of these 5. The Old Post Office can be found at 815 Olive Street St. Louis, MO and has a latitude of 38.6272733 and a longitude of -90.1978889.
The third cake found was at the MX Complex/Future home of the National Blues Museum coming in 2015. The National Blues Museum is going to show examples of Blues music and how Blues influenced America. The National Blues Museum can be found at 618 Washington St. Louis, MO and has a latitude of 38.6303 and a longitude of -90.1898.
The fourth and final cake found, was at the Lammert Building. The Lammer Building was a furniture company founded in St. Louis. The Lammert Building can be found at 911 Washington Street St. Louis, MO and has a latitude of 38.6311 and a longitude of -90.1933.
Archie, Melissa, and Sherri all had a great time in St. Louis finding the cakes and visiting their locations. The three of them cannot wait until they can visit St. Louis again sometime soon to visit more interesting places.
The total miles roundtrip was 354 miles. After that much traveling, all three individuals were exhausted!
