Hi all, Happy Wednesday! I hope your weekend was wonderful!
We had a good one - an "unplugged", hang out with my family kind of weekend. Sadly, it seems like we need to leave town to have those...
Friday evening, we headed south - to St. Louis. It was a long drive in a driving wind. But we arrived safely and got checked in. We actually stayed in Valley Park - it's a nice area and our hotel was nice.
Saturday, we headed to Six Flags for their opening day (I added a few of the rides we rode to my 40 in 14 list). The weather was GORGEOUS - sunny, upper 50s. We all got a taste of sunshine. The crowd wasn't bad there at all! The longest we waited to ride anything all day (and we were there most of the day) was about half an hour. The highlight of the kids' day was winning super hero capes at a game.
We went back to our hotel about 5:30 and then to dinner at Dickey's BBQ Pit and Fritz's Frozen Custard - both were very tasty!
Sunday we went for an early lunch at Pappy's. If you miss this place while you're in St. Louis....shame on you. Best ribs EVER!!!! Get there early though. We stopped at Cahokia Mounds and climbed Monk's Mound and went through the Visitor's Center.
We had a nice weekend and it was hard to get going for work.
I hope your week is going well!
Hugs
