St. Louis




What a great day/night!! We had plans to do 3 things in St. Louis: go to a Cardinals game, go the the Arch, and go to the Budweiser brewery. When we called to inquire about tickets to the Cardinals game, we were told that military get buy one get one free. Once we got to the stadium, we found out that we could both get 2 free tickets but we had to wait until 5:20pm. So we decided to head to the Arch. The wait was crazy to go to the top of the arch. While we were waiting in line, we decided that we could either go to the Arch or go to the brewery. But we decided that we could do it all! We got a tickets to go to the Arch for 5:40pm. We then took a cab to the brewery, took a tour, had our 2 free tastes, then took a cab to the Cardinals Stadium. We went to a bar nearby because we were early. We then got our 2 free tickets and walked fast to the arch to make the tour. We went to the top, walked around, took some pictures, and then headed back down. We then went into the stadium and tried to find a seat since our tickets were "Standing room only." Well, knowing Charles and I, we love talking to people so we became friends with a very nice older lady who was an usher. Nancy liked us when we told her we were military. Then we told her we were newlyweds and she fell in love with us! She gave us great seats and we had a great time at the game. By the end of the game, Nancy had brought us a bag that had Cardinals gifts in it. We took a picture, we got Nancy's email because she wanted the picture, and then Charles asked her to sign the wiffle ball that she had given us. It was a great day and night in St. Louis
