Fall of 2007 for the Waltons

Well, Summer 2007 comes to an end.

Winter is coming!

We pull our boat out of the water on
a beautiful fall day.

Wish summer would never end,
and wish fall would never end.

The trees are just wonderful.
Next we visited St. Louis for
a technical meeting (Eric's work).

So ... of course we want to see (and go up in) the
St. Louis Gateway Arch.
I must admit, it really is impressive and beautiful.

Imagine the vision of the person who had this idea as a symbol of the city of
St. Louis (Gateway to the west!).

So simple yet so compelling a symbol.
It was so nice that my son Daniel
came to share the (partial) week with us.

Since I was getting an award, he especially wanted to be there.

Good kid.
