Meet me in St. Louie

Last Sunday the Myers loaded into the van and traveled to St. Louis to partake in one of our favorite things. A St. Louis Blues game. And because it also involved one of the favorite things of a good friend. Namely the Montreal Canadians. We also included Nick.

We've done a good job of turning this kid into a hockey fan. But some how he got off course and his favorite team is the Canadians. We love him anyway. Even when he had more to cheer about than we did.
This photogenic moment was completely lost on 13 year old boys. The Myers are a bit crazed about our hockey. We drove 4 hours to watch the game. And then piled into the van which was piled high with pillows and blankets and drove the 4 hours home. We do this every once in a while.

Another high light of this trip was a stop at Gus's pretzels. I do believe that John would have driven the 4 hours just to get those pretzels. Notice there is no picture of Gus's pretzels. This is because I was unable to get the blaze of image that was John running into the store. And he ate 6 (six!) pretzels. He's an amazing man. Amazing enough to drive his wife to the ends of the earth to do something she loves. And to buy the good seats in honor of her birthday.
