Nate's uncle Derek came to St. Louis on business this month so we took a trip down to visit him. It was so much fun to visit with him and to see some of the St. Louis sites! We wanted to stop and see "the arch", but because of a Cardinals game the traffic was so bad that we couldn't. We had to learn to drive like the other cars just to get through down town! A green light means get into the intersection-although you probably won't get through it. The pedestrians did the same. We did get a nice little shot of some of down town though, with a little of the arch in the background.
There is a large section of town called "The Hill" which is basically Italian Town. There were lots of fun Italian restaurants to choose from-and ours ended up being delicious!!
Not only did this nice Italian man let us take a picture in front of his house, but invited us to walk around and look at all the Italian figurines, etc. in his yard.
We also went to get a famous St. Louis Concrete at Ted Drewe's. This frozen custard is so solid that they pass you the cup upside down! Nate found out the hard way that it doesn't take long for the sides to melt and you can no longer hold the concrete upside down.
I think Jessi ate most of our second round-it was hard for us to catch bites in between!!
