Looking for a chance to get away on a short trip during Memorial Day we decided to make the trip north to St. Louis. It’s hard to believe that it has been five years since we have been there and quite frankly we were somewhat disappointed that we have allowed so much time to pass prior to making a return trip. The last time we were in the city Jill had just finished school, we were both packing up all of our belongings, and we were putting the finishing touches on our wedding plans. Needless to say we probably didn’t take enough time to take in all of the final moments and didn’t enjoy our exit as much as we should have. So we were thankful to get the chance to visit the city and visit some of our favorite spots.
Our weekend was spent bouncing from one activity to another but we were able to squeeze a lot into the three day period. We were able to revisit some of our old favorites like the zoo, the Loop, the shops in St. Charles, and Busch Stadium (although this was our first visit to the new stadium). We were also able to revisit some of Jill’s old apartments and the school. Although the city has changed some while we have been away, it still provides that comfort level and feels a little bit like home. The trip itself brought back a lot of memories and specific events that happened while we were there and l it made us miss the “city-life” a bit.
