Hi y’all!
I actually have a backlog of recipes that need to get posted; however, it’s been pretty busy here in the Real World and thus, Cyber-World gets put on the back burner.
This past weekend, The Hubs & I took a mini-vaycay up to St. Louis. A city of much antiquity & French influence, one could call it the “New Orleans of the North”… but that just sounds so Yankee. ;)
We live about 3 hours from STL (yay, airport code abbreviations!) but don’t get to visit very often. So we decided to make the most of our trip. So we went to:
(ANIMATRONIC DINOSAURS! I WANT ONE!)
A St. Louis Blues game:
(We did not win. But saw some GREAT fights.)
The Schlafly Brewery & Bottleworks:
(I actually didn’t take any photos here. Above photo nicked from here. Schlafly makes my favorite pumpkin ale.)
And the piece de resistance, Missouri Botanical Gardens: 79 acres of “WOW”. We walked about 2.5 miles of it & STILL didn’t see everything. It was an amazingly gorgeous, sunny-although-slightly-too-warm day. Perfect camera weather.
A few choice snippets:
Prettiest Cactus ever…
Tulips!!!
When Iris eyes are smiling…
Fringed Tulip (I LOVE these!)
(Bishop’s Hat)
Hedge Maze! (I beat The Hubs in our “race” to find our way through.)
My ever-so-silly Hubs:
Japanese Garden:
That’s it for now! This is the FeauxCajun & Hubs, from outside the FeauxKitchen, signing off!
(PS—don’t forget to go leave me a comment over here so you can try to win a set of wine charms!!!)
