Fabulous Weekend!
admin September 26th, 2005
So I’m back at work now, after one heck-of-a weekend! Jared and I had so much fun on our mini-vacation to St. Louis. (Yay for incentive money from work.) Here’s a run down of the weekend….
Friday
-Left Greenville and got to our Bed and Breakfast around 5:30.
-Totally stunned by the beauty of Lafayette Park! (That’s the area we stayed in.)
-Met our inn keeper Larry and got our things put away in our room. (Our room was CRAZY AWESOME! It was up on the top floor of a victorian row house, whith a direct view of the park. Canopy bed, fireplace, etc.)
-Drove over to Delmar Blvd. and ate at Fitz’s (the root beer factory) and shopped for a bit.
-Went to the Tivoli (old movie house specializing in indi films) and watched “The Baxter”
Saturday
-Breakfast with the other couples staying at our B and B…Southwestern quiche, hashbrowns and watermelon…yummmm!
-Forest park for the day….lots of walking, the zoo, history museum, lounging around at the lagoon, German food at the zoo….good times!
-Drove over to The Galleria for some Cheesecake Factory goodness.
-Waited for over an hour, but finally got a seat (ate amazing food and took some cheesecake to go.)
-Shopped for a bit and then drove back to the B and B.
Sunday
-More yummy breakfast by Larry….stuffed french toast with some sort of strawberry goodness inside, sausage, and melon. It was the best french toast I’ve EVER had!
-Lounged around our room for a bit before check out time. (It was raining.)
-After checking out we headed back to Delmar for some wandering around and shopping. (Went to Rag-o-Rama, a superbulous vintage store…bought some shoes and a jacket.)
-Headed over to Fairview Heights to the mall there (had to get our wedding rings checked on.)
-Shopped for a bit (I got some fleece to finish up Jared’s Cub blanket).
-We were going to go to the orchard, but it was still raining so we headed home.
-Stopped by Papa John’s in Collinsville on the way (cause we were craving it.)
-Got pizza to go and brought it back home for a night of laziness. (ie. movies, tv and pizza.)
Well, that’s about it….fun times had by all! And now…back to work…yay.
