A little getaway to St. Louis

Richie and I took a short little trip at the first of the week to St. Louis.  We got there Sunday night and ate at the Schafly Tap Room.  It is a brewery with some really delicious food.

After that we waited in line with about half of St. Louis at Ted Drewes for some yummy famous frozen custard.

The next morning we woke up early and went running around downtown past the arch, Lacleade's landing, the City Museum and the Citygarden.

After that we went to the Missouri Botanical Garden.  It was absolutely wonderful!  They had a children's garden too, and we can't wait to go back with the kids sometime.

For lunch, we ate at Pi Pizzeria on Delmar Loop.  It was delicious.  Can you tell which half was mine and which half was Richie's?

After lunch, we had planned on going to the Art museum, but it was closed on Monday.  So we walked through Forest Park a little and ended up going to the History museum.

We went to see the Cardinals game that evening.  They played the Cubs and unfortunately lost by 1 point.  It was still a lot of fun though!

It was a whirlwind trip, but its always so good to get away every now and then and actually be able to complete a conversation with each other.  I highly recommend it!
