I had a pretty decent day today. Of course, the worst day of vacation is still better than the best day at work. LOL
I decided to wander around St. Louis today. I was going to visit the Daniel Boone home, but it cost $12. Unfortunatley, I'm kind of poor. I'm saving the money to either ride over the arch or take a riverboat tour. I wanted to go to Grant's Farm where they keep the Budweiser Clydesdales, but they are closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. I ended up just wandering around. I found a really neat art supply/scrapbooking store. I wish they had something like that in Denver. They had a LOT of stuff. I also found a cool scrapbook store called For Keeps Sakes. The lady there was really nice and suggested I go see the historic courthouse where Lincoln spoke often and some other things around town that are free. I'll probably do that tomorrow. Marcus and I are going to do the arch thing tomorrow, too.
We were just watching the news and see that several tornados hit the eastern part of the Denver metro area today. Nifty.
Marcus and I went to Hardees for lunch. We were hoping it was like the Hardees that used to be in Colorado (roast beef Arby's-like sandwiches). It was actually a Carl's Junior. *sigh* After thinking about it, I remembered the old Hardees in Colorado Springs on Garden of the Gods was now a Carl's. Oh, well. The decor in it was pretty cool. It looked like a diner. Pictures will be posted later.
We got dinner from a place called Steak 'n Shake and brought it back tot he hotel so we could watch CSI: Miami. It was pretty yummy. They have these half and half shakes. You pick two of your favorite shake flavors and they come in the same cup.
Since the St. Louis Cardinals are in the baseball playoffs, the town here is going nuts. They had some kind of rally today under the arch and I was listening to the radio broadcast of it when I was driving to pick Marcus up from work. It was weird hearing Wayne Hagen (former voice of the Colorado Rockies) talk about another team. The funny thing about listening to St. Louis radio is the traffic reports. They kept talking about heavy traffic and the sad thing was that their "bad" traffic is still way better than our "good" traffic. It was funny.
Speaking of funny, do you know that there are bible factory outlet stores? We saw that on a billboard coming in last night. That's too much.
I'm really tired, so I think I'll hit the hay.
