Well had a great two nights here -laid back, did a couple things (gambled, since we stayed in an RV casino park which was very nice & black topped) & now we're heading towards Springfield, Missouri & possibly Branson if time permits! I dropped a pic that I took from the top of the arch of our camp site which was at the Casino Queen across the river-amazing views from up yonder :o)
While in St Louis we did the Anheuser Busch tour and sampled their beer, yup that's right-Joe & I who don't even drink beer-did that tour! Pretty interesting and I even found a beer that I like-it's called Michelob Bock....pretty good stuff! Joe still isn't converted tho & I don't think I will be either but it is different, lol. We even tasted their pumpkin beer coming out this month, yuk!
Then of course we did the tour of the Arch and boy was that pretty amazing-you go up 680' or so in this tiny little pod (and believe me if it was more than a 4 minute ride I wouldn't have been in it) and then you're on top of the world! I'll try to add some shots of the city (I took their ball stadium & one of a church or the waterfront) we'll see which one looks best :o)
Oh & of course since we stayed at a casino, we signed up for the players card & used that the first night & received a tailgate chair and comp tickets to see Legends in Concert the next night (opening night) very good-if I must say so myself! I actually got to play a little poker that night too & won a little bit- 3/6 table for about 2 hrs. Found out they used to have to pay to come into the casino's $15 and had to leave by 4 AM, now they don't charge but have to still leave by that time :o(....can you imagine! Also, something about Missouri has to be within 1,000 ft of water on or water and Illinois doesn't have to be on water so they are in direct competition right across the river from each other. Plus one of them has smoking in the casino and the other doesn't....very strange rules here-for sure!
P.S Happy Birthday Brother Dearest in Alaska - how old does today make you??
