Last weekend, I had the opportunity to use some of my frequent flyer miles and visit friends in St. Louis. My friends Kim and Joey moved there two years ago after graduation. They are doing great, expecting a baby, and great hosts!

 I had never been to St. Louis and had no clue what it was like. I really wasn’t expecting a city with such distinct character. While we were driving, I noticed that EVERY house had brick somewhere. We drove for about five minutes (literally) before we saw a house without any sign of brick.  It was my first time seeing the arch and eating St. Louis style pizza (which I think is great, by the way.) 

Incredibly, we didn’t take any pictures the whole weekend, which is really unfortunate. I will share a picture of the newest addition to my mug collection. This is number 15 in the collection.
