A Weekend in St Louis

2024-10-13 /

We spent the last weekend in September 2024 in St Louis, MO.  We planned this trip in January to coincide with a concert at Busch Stadium.  Unfortunately, we did not attend the concert because it was postponed from Friday night to Sunday night (due to weather).  We made the best of the weekend even though we didn’t experience everything we intended.

What we did enjoy:

  • Car rolling 60,000 miles as we started our journey SE
  • Walking around the Outlet Mall in Chesterfield, MO
  • Checking out the area around Busch Stadium
  • Visiting The Puzzle Warehouse
  • Listening to the history of the Frank Lloyd Wright Kraus House in Ebsworth Park
  • Brunch at a local Bakery & walking around the Farmer’s Market
  • Browsing the aisles of IKEA
  • Seeing the magnificent Gateway Arch & parks near the Mississippi River
  • Intriguing Burlesque show

The best laid plans – as they say. 

We are getting ready for our next Jaunt within the next week.  Tune in to see where the planes take us. 😊

James posted Reiman Gardens & Kansas City Joyrides.  Always fun and interesting to look back through pictures taken during vacations.  We knew this process would take time, effort, and dedication.  We are making progress….  Just think of this as the story of the Tortoise and the Hare.  🙂  We have learned it is much easier to take notes while on each vacation so when we return home, only small edits to the text are needed before narrowing down the photos to post. 

We have 2 vacations planned for 2024.  The first is in a couple months and the other is at the end of the year.  We also have a long weekend planned for Fall to see a concert.  Not sharing the destinations!  You will have to come back to find out where we “roamed”. 

On a Mission (or 5) to visit the Alamo

We wanted to take a short vacation before June.  We decided on San Antonio!  James had never been there and Julie visited 30 years ago with her college friends when they drove to South Padre Island one Spring Break.

We booked our flights intending to leave early evening with arrival in San Antonio around midnight thinking this would give us 4 full days to explore.  Well, like the last time we flew out of DSM, best laid plans…..  Our original flight was canceled and we were rebooked on flights the following morning.  We arrived in San Antonio around 12:30p the following day which still gave us plenty of time to visit the River Walk and a few other attractions outside of downtown.

Check out the San Antonio Jaunts page to read about the rest of our adventure!

James also added 3 “Joyride” pages from 2008.  Take a look!

We experienced a variety of activities last weekend in Minneapolis. 

Shopped ‘til our feet hurt at IKEA and The Mall of America. 

Laughed at satirical skits at The Brave New Workshop. 

Pet and played with cats at The Café Meow.

THEN . . . . .

After waiting 2 years to attend the Stadium Tour of Def Leppard, Mötley Crüe, Poison, & Joan Jett & The Blackhearts, we sang along with all the bands as they rocked US Bank Stadium.
