Before we went to the Cardinals game, we took in 2+ attractions in St. Louis ... the City Museum, a tour of the Anheuser-Busch Brewery, and a drive around The Arch Park.
The City Museum is a combination of interesting art, an aquarium, weird memorabilia, and 3 stories of climbing and sliding that kids 8 - 13 can play in/on for hours. Nancy and I tried some climbing and sliding, but we just don't bend like we used to. I highly recommend the City Museum if you have the right aged kids.
The Anheuser-Busch tour is a free 1 hour walk thru their facility. They start with the Clydesdales' barn, lead you on a walk thru beautiful garden areas to see the architectural features of their 1800s buildings, show you their making rooms and bottling lines ( for you P&Gers, 1300 bottles/min. and floors you can eat off!!) and finish with samples in their brew pub. And, yes, I had my first beer in 21 years --- something called "Bare Knuckle Stout". It tasted great. This doesn't mean I'm going to start drinking. It was a one time thing. Nancy had a Michelob Ultra and a Sun Dog Wheat. As you'd expect, the beers were served at the perfect temperature with the perfect amount of foam.
We also drove around the Arch to take some pictures. Quite an impressive structure. However, the near flood stage Mississippi was just as impressive.
