St Louis Cardinals

We went on a quick trip to St. Louis for my dad’s birthday. We were there for less than 48 hours. It was A fun-filled trip filled with visits to all our favorite restaurants – Dominics, Ragazzis, and Mortons. Our family visits are usually focused around the meals. Of course this trip didn’t disappoint.
We walked most everywhere and the weather agreed with us! 
Saturday morning we got up quite early and headed over to visit Madison. She has only been on campus for 3 days, but she looks quite settled in. She showed us around and seems the perfect mix of nervous and excited. Her school is located right in the heart of downtown St. Louis and the campus is beautiful.
We left campus and met the rest of my family at the zoo. We watched the sea lion show and took a quick ride on the train.
We spent the rest of the afternoon splashing around in my dad and Melissa’s backyard. We had a lovely time and hope my dad had a great birthday weekend!

We went for a super quick trip to St. Louis. In August. August, friends. The love for my family can never be doubted. We flew in Saturday morning. Flew home Sunday afternoon. Total stay about 30 hours and worth every minute. Even if it was August in St. Louis.
First stop: lunch at Rigazzi’s. St. Louis style pizza and fishbowls. Life is good, good, good.
The oldest cousins, Madison and Annabelle. Madison showed Annabelle pictures of her boyfriend on her phone and Annabelle thinks she is just the coolest.
Annabelle and Auntie Becky
So much love for Auntie Becky and Lily
Obligatory silly face
We spent the rest of the afternoon playing games. I was undefeated at Guess Who so they decided to play with out me. Sore losers!
We spent our evening at the Cardinals Game. We got to enjoy a suite with lots of food, drinks, and the dessert cart. It’s certainly not a bad way to watch a baseball game. And oh yeah, air conditioning. I’m so much more agreeable and pleasant to be around with air conditioning.
The legendary dessert cart. It’s pretty fantastic.
The girls have been very patient and have always wanted a Fred Bird from the Build a Bear at Busch Stadium.  They were so thankful and so very happy!
Gwyneth named hers Freddy and Annabelle named hers Ferris Bueller. Fab names.
Becky’s family left earlier the next day but we had time to grab a quick lunch with them.
Packing up and heading out:
Strawberry Margaritas…a little throw back to our Mexico trip.
After lunch we took a brewery tour. In all the years I lived in St. Louis I had never been so this was a fun, first for me. 
 
Fast trip, but as always lots of fun!
