So far 2013 has been the year of weddings for our family. We have had a ton of fun celebrating Love & Marriage over the past few months! (Congrats again to all of our friends and family who have tied the knot so far in 2013... Jason & Stacie, Nick & Amy, Jason & Amber and Tim & Lindsey!!!)
Tim & Lindsey were the last couple to get hitched and they did so in St Louis, so we decided to make a mini-vacation out of it. I had never been to St. Louis and it's always exciting to check out a new city. We headed out on Wednesday (my last day of school) to make an overnight pit stop in Kansas City to break up the trip a little bit for Briton. Thursday morning we got up early & ironically headed East to the "Gateway of the West."
Thursday was a pretty relaxing day as we waited for the rest of my family to arrive. Once everyone else showed up early that evening we decided to take Briton down to the pool to swim for the first time. From the way he reacted to the water, I am pretty confident that we don't have the next Micael Phelps on our hands.
On Friday, we headed to check out the Gateway Arch and smushed ourselves into the tiny pod for our 4 minute climb to the top to check out a pretty awesome view of the city.
After leaving the Arch, we headed across the street to the Old St. Louis Courthouse to marvel at it's architecture & read up on some of the history of the city.
From there, we went and checked out the very famous Budweiser Clydesdales hanging out in their stables at the Brewery.
Saturday was wedding day! Tim & Lindsey had a beautiful ceremony followed by an awesome reception at a cool little art gallery. It was so great to get to see all of my family and I think it's safe to say that everyone had a great time!
... in case you are wondering - we never did see Nelly.
