Saint Louis Statue

Billy found this:


You may recognize the head and hat from the pictures below. The statue stands 23 feet tall. The water was definitely high when we were in Saint Louis. Tom was speculating it could have been the head of the headless horseman but I guess he was wrong. ;o)

St Louis Trip

We had a great time in Saint Louis with Billy, Estela & Isabella the last weekend in April. We had great food including toasted raviolis, Ted Drewes frozen custard and a wonderful food at a nice restaurant that Tom picked out. I definitely would recommend the frozen custard “concrete” at Ted Drewe’s. I got the Carmel Apple Sundae… YUMMY. Toasted raviolis are pretty yummy too.



On Friday we visited the Cathedral Basilica of Saint Louis and briefly walked around the waterfront by the Arch. The Catherdral was beautiful and the details were amazing. Billy and Tom took some amazing photos of the church.




The Mississippi was over its banks while we were there. This guy looks liked he was drowning and need some help. lol.



On Saturday we went to the Arch and to a Cardinals/Astros game (‘Stros lost, bummer). We stayed in a hotel downtown so for the most part everything was within walking distance.
Isabella was a very good baby during all of our sightseeing and through the baseball game. We really enjoyed spending time with her.

This is my favorite picture of trip though. Thanks Billy.

Thank you Billy & Estela for inviting us! We had a great time.
