After 2 days in KC, we drove back to St. Louis to spend some time there. We started this leg of the trip at the Budweiser Brewery, which was alot of fun, alot of interesting buildings, and Staci even got to pet one of their dalmatians.
We then headed to the Arch, and though we didn't go to the top, we got to sit underneath it and look out at the Mississippi River.
Finally we finished up at Busch Stadium III, #26 on my stadium list. Only 3 years old, it is a beautiful stadium, I saw a little bit of Atlanta, Baltimore, and Philly in their design. And the view looking out at the Arch is fantastic. The only disappointment was not getting to meet my hero (and current D-Backs bench coach) Kirk Gibson. It is very fan un-friendly down by the dugouts which made it impossible to get close enough. But I did get to watch him lead BP, and as you can see from the picture (#23 on the left), he's got the same swing that made him a legend 20 autumns ago.
A great trip, to be sure- and now the planning begins for next year's baseball journeys!

Cute puppy! They're spoiled rotten - they're going to get to go to Europe soon - the new parent company wants to show them off! :) Hopefully they can get their passports in order.
