We took a lot of pictures!
So Kenny and I took a long weekend vacation to go to St. Louis. Neither of us had been before. We stayed downtown and kept ourselves very very busy. It seems like we did everything, ate extremely well, and we had so much fun!
We got there early Saturday morning and headed to the City Museum. This museum is unlike any other museum I have been to before and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who has kids. They will L-O-V-E it! But Kenny and I just pulled out our inner kids and enjoyed it just as much. After the museum we ate lunch and walked around the shops downtown. Then we headed to The Loop which is a eclectic part of Saint Louis. Very interesting and fabulous people watching. We had cocktails and appetizers at a cute restaurant before heading to the Hill district for some awesome Italian.
Sunday we headed to Six Flags. I had not been to an amusement park since I was younger and I was dying to ride a roller coaster. We rode lots of roller coasters. We ended up buying this pass where we got to skip to the front of all the lines. It was well worth it. So worth it that I got the worst case of motion sickness because we were riding so many roller coasters back to back. I recovered and despite the extreme heat we had a great time.
On Monday, we headed to the Busch brewery for a tour. Their facility is amazing. I can't believe how clean and university like it was. This place was gigantic and had a very interesting smell. We got to see the packaging plant, these huge barrels where the beer ferments and the best part, the Clydesdale's and the Dalmatian!
Monday afternoon we had great tickets to a Cardinals games. They were playing the Brewers. Kenny was like a kid in a candy store he was so excited. We got to see lots of great players and the fans get really intense at their games. The atmosphere was really different than the Redbirds games we go to all the time. Sadly, the Cards lost in extra innings to the Brewers but it did not ruin the good time.
Last but not least we rode to the top of the Gateway Arch. It was really high and a great view of the St. Louis skyline!

Sounds fun! JR and I have a trip planned for STL at the end of August. We're actually going up on Thursday night and coming back Saturday. We plan on catching the Braves/Cards game and sightseeing!
