Around the state in 5 days

Matt and I have kept Missouri roads hot the past five days... On Wednesday we headed to St. Louis for a couple Cardinals games to celebrate our anniversary. We got there mid-afternoon, met my new cousin, Chaney Luna Werner (she's a doll!), and got baseball tickets from Megan and Patrick. Went to the Cards game Wednesday night - it was freezing! I have never... I mean, NEVER... worn a sweater and jacket to a baseball game. Matt wore a long-sleeve tee, and it wasn't enough. We were hungry and thirsty, so we hit the concession stand, where 2 hot dogs + 2 beers + 1 order of nachos = $33.75. Ha! (Well worth it, though.) The Cards lost. Boo-hoo.

Here's the rest in a nutshell...

Thursday we had lunch at Zia's on the Hill, per Megan's recommendation. Delicious. Toasted ravioli, Italian sausage sandwich, pasta with "pink" sauce, salad. Yum. Toured the brewery. Stopped in a couple neat little shops. Ate two orders of wings at Syberg's and bought five bottles of sauce. (Meg and Patrick gave us a bottle of Syberg's wing sauce a while back, and we loved it. So, that's how we ended up there.) Went to the game that evening. Cards won. Hurray!

Home Friday. Work Saturday morning. Mountain Grove Saturday afternoon for our niece Madison's dance recital. Kansas City Saturday night for Billie and Woodsie's couples shower. Home Sunday afternoon. Work Sunday night.

Tired.

But, it was so much fun and well worth the craziness!
