The Tallest Monument and my Meez

So the day of my class mixer in April. my mom and I visited the Arch; It was my first time ever seeing it. I didn't understand the big deal until I went, it was huge... I think that might be my favorite thing about the city, last weekend when we were driving downtown I was so happy to see it...lol...I know I'm a dork. lol. So while procrastinating I decided to update "my meez" Milani Nessa...and one of the options for a background was the Arch. I was sooo excited! So she is down there kickboxing with her Nike gear on... TOO CUTE! lol. Well thanks to Wikipedia...here is some information on the Arch...

The Gateway Arch, also known as the Gateway to the West, is an integral part of the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial and the iconic image of St. Louis, Missouri. It was designed by Finnish-American architect Eero Saarinen and structural engineer Hannskarl Bandel in 1947. It stands 630 feet (190 m) tall, and is 630 feet (190 m) wide at its base, making it the tallest monument in the United States.

Until Next Time...
