My boyfriend and I need to get away for a weekend. We're on a budget of $200-$400 for the trip but of course we'd take a trip for less if it was fun. We live in St Louis MO. Any ideas would be very much appreciated! Thanks!

The Architecture river boat tour is a great way to see the city and learn about its history. You get a spectacular view of dozens of skyscrapers and other important buildings. It's a relaxing 90 minute tour on the river in the heart of the city.

there are so many things you can get creative with on 300-400 still.....it depends on what your willing to sacrifice or where you want to stay in the end.
