"Meet Me in St. Louis"



So do you remember the amazing trip to Destin I was supposed to be taking this past week?

Long story short... it got cancelled for personal family reasons. (not from me, from my friend Liz.)

I was home for the week and my parents were watching me be completely bummed about my trip being cancelled. They felt bad because they knew how bad I wanted to go to the beach. So my stepdad , Mike asks "Well would you still want to go on a long weekend vacation?" After making a few phone calls the only ones available for a vacation in June would be myself, Matt and my closest guy friend Barry. The three of us decided to go to St. Louis, MO for a four day weekend. I had actually never been before, it's only about 4 hours away from Jackson, and they have a ton of things we could do for fairly cheap (Six Flags being the ultimate one:) ) To make another long story short, my stepdad booked us a hotel room for my birthday at the Hilton Inn St. Louis Frontenac.

And I must say this hotel is AMAZING.


The plan is to pick up Barry after work in Martin, TN this Thursday at noon, drive up to the hotel to check in and then roam around the city looking for some good eats. The three of us decided to go the Travel Channel's Man vs. Food route and go to all the restaurants Adam ate at when he was in St Louis.

Other than pig out on some awesome BBQ and milkshakes, we're gonna head on over to Six Flags and spend the entire day there Friday along with playtime at the City Museum and going to an aerial fireworks show over the St. Louis arch.

Many many pictures to come. See you next week :)
