Day 270 - Cemetery & Weekend
Monday, September 29, 2008
Jeff & I dropped the kids off at my mom's house this afternoon and traveled to St. Louis for a weekend getaway. Jeff's favorite comedian is Jim Gaffigan. Since he's having a concert at the Fabulous Fox Theatre tomorrow, I decided to surprise Jeff with tickets. Fortunately, I bought them months ago, since the concert is now sold out. I also booked us a room at the Hyatt Regency St. Louis at Union Station. This was another Priceline bargain at $45/night! My initial goal was to get the kids dropped off early so that we could spend the whole day together, but we didn't get going until late. Had we gone straight into St. Louis, we would have hit the traffic jam (the Cardinals & Blues both had a game). Instead, we decided to hang out in Fairview Heights, IL for a few hours. We ate dinner and visited the cemetery where my dad and Jeff's uncle & grandparents are buried.
After checking into our hotel, we walked down to the "Taste of St. Louis" festival which was being held just down the street. I ate some Gooey Butter Coffee Cake from Gooey Louie's. I do believe that it was the best that I've ever eaten! We decided to stay long enough to hear the band Everclear. We both remembered that we liked one of their songs when it was popular, but neither of us could remember the name of it or anything about it. We listened to the first song (which was pretty awful), but decided that we'd stick it out until we heard the song we recognized. Then the political rant happened... Of course, (like pretty much all of pop-culture), they were vocal Obama fans. At that point we walked back to the hotel...we were willing to listen to bad music for awhile, but we didn't sign on to an impromptu Obama rally...
