St. Louis stuff

OK, I got up in time to post yesterday's pictures.  A lot of them are the old Cardinals pictures from back in the day.  I'm not a huge baseball fan, but Kevin's Mom love love LOVES the Cards.  A lot of these pictures are for her.

The tiny plane made me nervous before we were in and gone, but it was the coolest plane ride EVER!  I could see EVERYTHING.  Also, I had headphones so I could hear the "chatter" between the towers and the pilot.  I didn't understand any of it at all, but it was still interesting to hear.  It also enabled the three of us to communicate with each other without yelling.

We are directly across from Busch stadium, and there was a game last night.  Some of the pictures suck, but I didn't have a ton of time to get them done AND sleep.  I often choose sleep over other activities.

OK, time to pack up and head downstairs.  I'll be on the road, visiting two customers in Illinois today.  Back to the St. Louis airport by 5:30 to head home.  I'll be home well before dark, which is how I like it.

Have a wonderful Tuesday!

Thank goodness for your last picture, I thought you were losing you touch, LMAO! I don't think I would have liked to fly in that tiny plane though. Have a safe trip home.

What a cool experience!  Love the hotel right there at the stadium.  We stayed at the Holiday Inn in Kansas City.  It's across the street from the stadiums-and across the parking lot and six other things!

I like small planes & helicopters better than the standard plane.  I feel more in control in a totally nonsense & inaccurate way(since I sure don't fly them).  Certain moments are beyond expressing & I get those moments during a small, peaceful plane ride.
Stopping by to say congrats on being a Russ guest editor pick. ~Mary
