Almost a 'Royal' Day...

We're back from the ballgame!  It was a great (toasty) day!  The husband and I decided to get up super early and be down in St. Louis by about 10:00 am. We met up with our wonderful friends Beth and Kelly at the casino and played around for a bit till our favorite restaurant opened, Morgan Street Brewery!

A wonderful restaurant on the Landing downtown.  I highly recommend their Beef Melt Sandwich and BBQ Chicken Pizza!

 We all made it to the ballpark around 12:30 and found our seats. They just so happened to be right behind home plate about 20 rows up!  I've never had better. Shout out to Beth for bidding on them in a silent auction and winning them at an EXCELLENT price.

 

A little warm, but we finally found shade in the 5th inning.

  

The view from our seats. Perfection!

 

 Jeff had a few adult beverages at the game and I played DD for the day.  Just a tip for those of you who go to a game in St. Louis: they have a Designated Driver program  that you can sign up for and they give you a coupon for a free soda while you are at the game!  That's over a $5.00 savings. Check it out!



This is the husband's first empty glass. These are the new bottoms up glasses at the ballpark.  As you can see, there is a hole in the bottom of the glass with a magnet placed over the top.  There is a machine that fills the glasses quickly from the bottom and the magnet seals the liquid inside.  Check out the link above to see it in action!  The husband learned the hard way, though, not to mess with the magnet while the drink was still full! :)

Maybe I should have taken this glass with me to the game.  The husband and I are Cubs fans, but Beth and Kelly are Cards fans. 

The Royals were the visiting team yesterday and held their own until the 9th inning when the Cardinals took the game with a home run.  It was a pretty exciting game to watch and can't wait to go back (which will be next weekend again actually!).  PS.
