St. Louis

Yesterday, we left my parents' house to head to St. Louis for a St. Louis Blues game. This is the first time we've been able to work a hockey game into our trip..YEAH! I am a huge Blues fan and Andy is a huge hockey fan. We met Deb, Julia, and Greg in St. Louis for the game. We were really excited to go to the game but sad to leave my parents' house! We had an amazing time visiting with them. Hopefully, they will visit this summer!!!!(at least I'm trying to convince them they need to come to Colorado this summer)

We had to leave my parents' house at 6:30 a.m. in order to get there before 11:oo a.m. The hockey game wasn't until 1:00 but they were shutting down several streets at 11 as they were having their St. Patrick's day parade on Saturday. We made it there in plenty of time and was able to check into our hotel! The hotel was right across the street from the ScottTrade Center which is where the Blues play. Once we checked in, we met up with Greg, Julia, and Deb to grab a quick lunch and some green beer! After lunch, we went to the game. I even talked Andy into wearing a Blues jersey!! It wasn't too hard since they were playing the Detroit Red Wings and he hates the Red Wings!

We had a great time at the Blues/Red Wings game even though the Blues lost. Boo! After the game, we decided to take the metro rail to another part of town so we could go out for dinner and drinks. We all had a great time! It is so good to catch up with friends that I don't get to see that often. Lots of laughing, storytelling, and drinks/food. We headed back to the hotel around 9:30 since Andy and I had to get on the road early for a day of driving back to Colorado.
