I surprised Mike with Blackhawk tickets for our anniversary - oh yeah in St. Louis!
We got down here on Sunday and we are staying at the new hotel near the new receptions place.
We started out downtown St. Charles to check out the 2 places that Mary told us about for the rehearsal dinner.
The first place we went got the thumbs down (even thought they had great draft beer - Moose Drool). We liked the second place, met up with the manager and secured a spot for Friday the 13th.
We then head on over to the casino (really right around the corner). I sit at a penny slot. First pull 400 I win 400 time my bet or $4. Woo Hoo!
I'm getting adventurous, as much as I do when I gamble, and try a joker poker machine for a quarter. My fifth or sixth time around I decide to go for a inside straight flush, come on queen of spades, (Mike is laughing) and cha-ching. $75 and I'm going home. Thank You!
Monday morn we walked over to the reception hall and checked that out. Thumbs UP! Then we walked on over to the Casino. (about 15 minutes me walking and 7 or 8 minutes Bryan and Andy walking) downhill there/uphill back. Very do-able if someone wanted to stay there. Put a few bucks into the joker poker machines, but still ahead.
They do have piagow, but it wasn't open.
Had lunch downtown St. Charles. We ate outside in a garden with the magnolias and the forsythia blooming.
Had dinner at the Murpheys where Maryellen and I pretty much figured out the rehearsal dinner menu. We can't get enough "wedding talk".
Heading into downtown St. Louis today to walk around.
BLACKHAWKS game tonight!!!!!!!! Go Hawks!
