So I've been meaning to post these pictures for a few months now but have been procrastinating, however on this lazy Sunday I can't procrastinate any longer!!! I got the opportunity to go to St. Louis, Missouri the first week of November for an annual New Student Orientation Conference where orientation directors from all across the country meet and talk about how to better orient students to college campuses and make the intense transition from high school to college better. However, I got to see the sights of Missouri and had a blast doing so. Some fun things I got to do: ride to the top of the famous Arch, visit Forest Park (Ulysses S. Grant's old stomping grounds), eat at Pappy's (featured on both Food Network & the Travel Channel), visit the Cardinals new stadium and the Rams stadium, walk along the Mississippi, walk around downtown St. Louis, visit St. Louis & Washington University, tour the historic Delmar Loop & shopping district, explore the rest of St. Louis by metro, and relax in a 5 star hotel. Thanks BYU for such a great experience :) Here are some pics from my trip:
