Where in the world...

Every year my company has an auction to benefit the Furniture Bank of Ohio and I had the pleasure of bidding (and winning!) on a trip to St. Louis. The package included tickets to a Cardinals v. Reds game, a giftcard to Mike Shannon's (steakhouse), and a night's stay at the Chase Park Plaza hotel.

We had never been to St. Louis before (outside of the airport) and let me say that this is a cool city. We did some walking city exploring which is always an adventure...

We stopped by the old courthouse...

And of course we had to see the arch:

Here's the sketchy car you have to ride in to get to the top of the arch:

But trust me, the view at the top is worth the wait and the shady transportation...

The baseball game was awesome! Our seats were amazing and the Reds won!

And of course... a little nightlife:

Rooftop bar and nerd alert super awesome view of my company's St. Louis office...

Awesome trip. Wish we had more than just a weekend to explore the city...
