St. Louis

Hello again!
Another busy weekend here in Eldon!
Friday night we went to Eldon's high school football game. They played California. We left at half time because we got cold! It changed into fall quickly here in Missouri! When we left Eldon was up 10-6 but they ended up losing by about 15. We must have been their good luck charms!

On Saturday, Alyssa and I went to St. Louis for a music festival.

yes we are wearing fanny packs

 We left around 12:30 and arrived in St. Louis around 3. After taking a wrong turn, we stopped at Toms bar and grill for a bite to eat before heading to the music festival. We made it to Forrest Park (which is a lot like Central Park in NYC) for the concert around 4. The park is huge! And we didn't really know where the concert was at other then somewhere in the park. So we had to follow some people and our ears! We took a wrong turn and ended up having to cross a little pond to get back on track!

the pond we crossed

Before long, we had found it!

First we listened to Nate Reuss one of the singers from FUN who is solo now. Next we listened to Nico and Vinz and later Ludacris who suprised me and put on a really good show!
Finally we got to see Hozier which is the reason we went to the festival! All the other performers were just a bonus! He sounded so good live! It was a great show! It was an awesome night!

We ended up staying at a hotel in St. Louis because it was too late to drive the 2 1/2 hours back to Eldon. We woke up the next morning and headed out. But first, we stopped for breakfast at a FirstWatch which only serves breakfast and brunch. It was really good! I must say their pumpkin pancakes are great!

Then we headed towards the arch! We were going to get out and check it out but the traffic was crazy because of a football game and construction so we decided to head home!

It was another great weekend!
