St. Louis

We decided to take a mini-trip to St. Louis for our anniversary. A few people have asked why St. Louis, what's there to do there? I know, it sounds like a random destination, but it was a great trip, and this is why we went: it's not that far away and at $4/gallon for gas, we needed something that wasn't too far. After I started looking into it, it seemed like a great place to go, and I was right. We did a lot in the few days that we were there; we went to the arch (it was my first time in St. Louis so the arch was pretty neat, we took a tram to the top), the zoo (the monkey exhibit of course was our favorite), the science center (this amazing place to learn science hands-on), a history museum, a soldier's memorial museum, the Anheuser-Busch Brewery (which was much larger than I thought and offered 2 complimentary glasses of beer at the end), and the City Museum (which is this crazy giant playground of a place & hard to explain exactly what it is). It seems like we did a lot in just a few days but actually nothing was rushed and we really had a relaxing time. I also couldn't believe how many places were free. It was a very affordable trip!

I have drill this weekend. It's my first weekend working at the post locator/switchboard desk. I'm a little nervous since I'm used to working in a shop on drill weekends, but I'm glad I'm out of the shop at the same time. I think it will be alright. It's second shift, so it's also much different not getting up really early to go to drill. So that's my big plans for the weekend. I'm going to King's Island with Jaime on Monday. Should be fun. I'm sure Michael will be spending the majority of this gorgeous weekend on the bike.
