My Own Bar Crawl

Can I stress again how much fun St. Louis can be when the Cardinals are winning?  I've been having the time of my life!  Once again, the Cardinals had a game on Friday night versus the Brewers and it was a HUGE game we needed to win!  LeeAnn and I started the weekend off by looking at fun new places to check out.  We started at Schlafly Bottleworks and soon found the crowd a little strange.  We stayed for three innings before the decision was made to go .2 miles up the street to the sports bar,the Post.  Making friends at this time of the year is easy.  We soon found ourselves at a table of 4 girls, but it was right under the TV.  The girls didn't stay long, so we eventually got to move back!  I learned a lesson that night.  You only live once, so sometimes you need to step out of your comfort zone with men.  It's always fun to meet new people, so I hope to someday have a success story about someone I meet.

Saturday I over promised myself with too many friends.  I started the afternoon off with golf and it was an interesting round.  There were 2 older gentleman that were playing in front of us and 3 younger guys behind Elizabeth and I walking the course.  We couldn't play very fast because we had people in front of us the entire time.   The guys behind us thought because we were girls and playing slow.  The ranger came out and followed us for 3 holes.  I was pretty upset and felt rushed to play.  At hole 7, it was 143 yards from the tee box to the green.  The older gentlemen were on the green and the ranger was yelling at us to hit because we couldn't hit that far.  Sure enough, I think I got the luckiest I've ever been to hitting a hole in one.  I drove the ball and it hit the flag and dropped a few inches away from the hole.  After this shot the ranger couldn't stop apologizing and I laughed because the 3 guys were awestruck.  Of course, I just walked off the tee box like that was normal!  Saturday night I went to Old St. Charles to meet some friends before going to a house warming party, and then meeting up with LeeAnn.

On Sunday, Amanda and I signed up for a washers tournament except when we showed up there weren't any washers.  We stayed for a few minutes before heading over to Bar 360.  It's on top of the Hilton and you can see right into the stadium.  It would be so much fun to go during a game, maybe even the WORLD SERIES!!!  Sunday night I went back to my usual Bar Louie to watch the Cards win.  Did I mention we are going to the WORLD SERIES now?

Another great weekend with so many stories.  At the end of the weekend I thought, this doesn't get much better!  Laughing, having fun with friends, and watching a great team win!  Now if only I get another message!
