I apologize for being a bad blogger while on vacation. You would think that with the more time I have, the more inclined I'd feel to be on the ball. Unfortunately, it's made me really lazy!
The time here has been great! My mom and I have spent lots of time in the kitchen together; chatting and making up fixings for the fam (I don't know why I just chose Southern verbage). This is time spent that I will cherish forever.
Last weekend my brother Shane, brother Christopher, Mr. D, and I drove down to Saint Louis, MO for a Saint Louis Cardinals game. Only four hours away from my home in IL. . . it was my very first time in St. Louis. Christopher, on the other hand, is a diehard Cardinals fan; so he's been numerous times. We got some really great tickets, booked our hotel, and made a quick 2-day trip down south. Nothing like a good old fashioned baseball game during the summer!
We attempted our first Man vs. Food extravaganza, but because it's supposedly amazing. . . the line was crazy busy for Pappy's Smokehouse and with the weather being the way it was; no thanks! Next time!
