Saturday morning we went to the Soulard Coffee Garden for breakfast. Mmmmm! That afternoon we went to a Catdinals game with tickets from Alexa. It was a great game until the darn rain. After the long delay the Cards lost. Saturday night we went to a few bars and hung out in Soulard.

Friday morning we met Romain, Sherry, John and Crystal for breakfast. It was great to see them. Romain gave me a powdered sugar bath! Haha

Saturday we got up at a decent time and headed to St. Louis for a Cardinals game. We got there a bit early and tried to find some clothes at the Galleria mall. The game started at 5:35 so we had just a short amount of time to get checked in at our hotel before the game. Luckily the hotel had a shuttle to the ballpark. We did not want to drive at all. The shuttle was packed tighter that a can of sardines. Probably a code violation. Our tickets at the game were amazing. We had seats in the Redbird club. They were just below the broadcasting area. The section has its own private concessions including fresh cut prime rib, stir-fry, and just about everything you could every want. The lines for beer were really short too, and that included a full bar. I even bought a Cardinals batting practice jersey that you can only buy in that section. It was sweet. I only wish the game would have gone better. The birds got their butts kicked. After the game we made our way to the Arch for a free John Legend concert. It was Fair St. Louis so they also had some concessions set up. I had a lamb gyro, Sarah had a  chicken. They were super tasty. The fireworks under the Arch were  kick ass. We were both having a great time. We walked around for a bit after the show and finally got a cab back to the hotel. We went straight to Syberg’s, the bar in the hotel. They had some karaoke  going so I was a bit scared. Some of those people were really good. One guy sang some Sinatra and Ray Charles. One girl even tried to pick us up. I think she was a swinger, lol. Sarah also sang a couple of songs that night. Saturday we made our usual stops to Trader Joe’s and World Market. Super fun trip.

Sunday night we went to Linda’s for our family gathering. We grilled some brats, drank some beer and watched fireworks. The country club fireworks were far better than James River this year. Might have to watch them from our back porch next year.

Around noon today we went to my parent’s for lunch. We got to hang out with Romain and Sherry which I never get see enough of. It was fun. Sarah and I spent all afternoon shopping. Yeeehaw, we got some cool stuff today.

Yesterday Sarah and I met a few friends at Kauffman stadium in KC for a Royals vs Cardinals game. We did some tailgating in the parking lot prior to the game which is always a bad idea! We had a blast though. It was 95 degrees outside and even hotter in the parking lot and inside the stadium. It was an awesome time and the Redbirds won!

Not a whole lot has been going on lately. We have been trying to save for our taxes so not much to report during the week. Friday night we had some people over to celebrate the warm weather. I did some beer can chicken and we had some tasty sides. Fun night. Saturday I wired the back porch for satellite! Cardinals games outside this season!

There are a few more things left to do to this website. I still need to add the old archives, culinary photos and maybe some photos. Definitely want to add the Cardinals section. Stay tuned.
