***Continued from previous***
Then, we walked down to Lacledes Landing to eat lunch. Even though it felt like a billion degrees outside, we really wanted to eat out at one of the tables because its so beautiful down there. We checked out the menu of Hannegans and decided to eat there. Our waiter was nice enough to get a pic of all of us:
Our view of the Arch from our table:
The food here was SO good. We will definitely be coming back. After lunch, we headed back to our hotel, got ready for the game, then walked over to our park, which is not too far from the Stadium either.
Then, we walked through the Hilton hotel to check out the lobby because Mom and Dad stayed there on part of their honeymoon and this was an anniversary trip. Then, we had to check out the Air Force plane they had there. While Fiancé was up there checking out the inside, of course a recruiter was right up there with him trying to get him interested in joining.
After he was done drooling, we headed to the Stadium. As we were walking around and ended up by the outfield, we realized that the Cards were having batting practice! So we decided to watch for a bit. Albert comes up to bat and hits one right at us. My dad ALMOST had the ball, but another guy comes jumping in and practically leaps on my dad to get it. My dad was not letting another homerun slip away. After Albert was done, Matt Holliday started batting. After a few hits, he hits a homerun right at us! Dad follows it the whole way to us and goes after it and got it! So, we made sure Mom tucked the ball safely away in her purse for the rest of the trip. I texted everyone I knew that would care that we just got a homerun ball- even Kristen whos not a Cards fan, haha! Then, we started heading to our seats and I was craving nachos, so I got those right before we sat down.
And a few minutes later
dark clouds started rolling in! And then a few minutes after that, it started pouring and they pulled the tarp out over the field. Great. I was SO mad.
Thankfully, it didnt last too long and the game started!
Albert!:
It was a really close game
.long story short- we won!
After the game, we were NOT ready to leave. How could the second game of the trip already be over?! This meant we were leaving the next morning. We love it in St. Louis. So, we just stood there for awhile and let the crowds clear out.
Finally, we managed to leave, haha. We headed back to our hotel and went to this restaurant called Max and Ermas at our hotel. We werent hungry for a lot of food, but decided on a few appetizers to share. We sat and talked and enjoyed our last night. Then, we headed upstairs to bed.
June 20, 2010:
Fathers Day! We told Dad Happy Fathers Day the second we all woke up. We got ready and packed, then headed down to breakfast in the lobby before heading home
