Anniversary Getaway






This past weekend Bob and I were able to getaway for about 24 hours. We began our trip after dropping off our 3 children at grandma's. Leaving Bolivar we headed toward St. Louis. We had a wonderful journey to St. Louis with just the two of us. Bob and I really needed this time away to refocus and to concentrate on one another. Saturday night we were able to stay in the Best Western. Our originally plan was to go to the zoo on Sunday morning, but decided to just hangout at the hotel and relax. Bob was able to get a short workout in. We headed to the pool as soon as it opened but only stayed a short time before we wanted to head to Busch Stadium! Going by ourselves gave us time to walk around the Stadium and just check things out. We made our way to our seats and found out we had been placed in the Wheelchair section, sounds a bit weird, but I think it was some of the best seats in the house. The seats were actually plastic chairs placed right behind the stadium seats. I really liked the seats for the mere fact that I did not have to get up for a single person, or be right beside (shoulder to shoulder) with anyone. I felt like the seats were made just right for a pregnant women. The only down part was that we were right in sun with no shade in sight, which made for a bad sunburn. All in all it was an amazing time. Our trip back was relaxing also until we tried to take a short cut back to Bolivar to get our kids by taking 32. After driving 32 for a short time it took us on a whirlwind detour that made me think I was going to deliver our next child. We made it back to Bolivar around 9:00 and made it home around 11:00 last night. This morning we all slept in till Bob was called to go into work at 10:00.
