For the long Labor Day weekend we decided to go to St. Louis via Memphis in order to pick up Nonnie so she could come along too! We arrived in Memphis late Thursday night. The next day we were able to sleep in (P.S. I love being on central time!) take a long walk in the afternoon, and watch the first UT football game of the season that night. Go Vols!
On Saturday we headed to St. Louis. We stopped on the way for lunch at...
Lambert's was a great stop. It reminds us a lot of Cracker Barrel (and may be even better in some ways!)
We all ate way to much, I felt like I might pop if you poked me with a pin, yikes!
We arrived in St. Louis around 5pm and checking into our hotel. The room had a balcony with a fantastic view! We had some fun taking pictures of the Arch.
So glad we're here! That night, Alan and I went over to our sweet friends, Laura & Mike's house where we also saw Lacy, Ben, and their precious baby, Kate. Laura had prepared a delicious meal and it was so wonderful catching up on life. Oh, how I have missed them!
Sunday morning, we took the whole family to Kirk of the Hills which is the church we went to when we lived in St. Louis. Here we are with Mike and Laura!
That afternoon we went to see Disney's 'The Lion King' at the fabulous Fox theater. It was amazing! The songs gave me goose bumps and brought back so many memories. It was great!
That night we went to dinner at Pi, one of our favorite pizzerias in Kirkwood and then of course a trip to St. Louis isn't complete without a visit to Ted Drewes so we went there afterwards, it was delish!
Monday began bright and early with a 5K run that Alan signed up for in...
We even ran into one our our good friends, Lauren, who we had missed seeing at church the day before! I was so glad we got a chance to see her! Small world!
Alan ran one of his best 5K times ever! So proud of my hubby!
Later that afternoon we headed to Busch Stadium for a Cardinals game!
Love this place!
The Cardinals won which was fun and we had a wonderful time! Such a great way to end a fabulous weekend with the family! We are blessed.
