In Emily's quest to conquer half marathons in major cities nationwide (as part of her "30 things to do while 30 years old" list), we traveled to St. Louis in October for her 6th half marathon of 2012. Of course, a major reason for choosing a race in St Louis, is to visit her parents and brother. When we arrived on Friday night, her Mom had made our favorite meal: marinated deep fried pork chops with pork bone soup and fresh salad rolls with fish sauce:
We got to spend a lot of time with family during the weekend. On Sunday, we got up early for the race and had time to stop by the location of our marriage, St. Louis Union Station, before the race started.

The morning sun, rising from underneath The Arch, provided perfect natural light for exercising my lens while waiting on Emily to finish her race.

We enjoyed dim sum with Emily's parents after the race at the same location where we had our wedding rehearsal dinner.
We were sad to have to fly back so soon on Sunday evening, but had a great time while we were there.
