We told you yesterday about our adventure in the World’s Fair wing at the Missouri History Museum.

Now we are going to give you a little more Missouri History. intro If there is one thing I can say put St. Louis on the map….it would be beer. brewing This is a beer biased town for sure.  Home of the Busch family and Budweiser Brewing.  We do our part to keep the Buschs in business.

Almost as prominent as our brewing history is our sports history.
So it is no wonder that these two things made several appearances throughout the Missouri History Museum. sports Tim’s favorite part of the museum was the War memorabilia, we spent a lot of time looking though the old posters and uniforms and Tim got to tell me all sorts of stories of his grandfather being a prisoner of war. wartime

My favorite part of the whole place was finding out that Missouri voted YES to putting an aquarium in Forest Park.  Holler. aquarium I have a new life plan….open aquarium in St. Louis.

Oh yea, I also quite enjoyed face time with my honey.  Oh and trying to figure out how I wound up on a random TV screen and where on earth the hidden camera was lurking.  Only slightly creepy. consusion nailed it We also learned a thing or two…especially about the big St. Louis fire. fire Even though I’ve hung out with Chuck Berry at the casino before, it was still neat to see him and all of his famous St. Louis Blues buddies  (not of the puck and stick variety, but go Blues). blues

And how adorable is this pink kitchen?
Parts of the museum were like walking back in time. ummmmm I think that Tim and I actually learned a whole lot about this great city of ours. random tidbits Look at my boyfran-man…so excited to get a view of the car…just making sure all the windows are still there.

Did you know Andy Cohen is from Missouri, and Sheryl Crow, and Mark Twain, and John Goodman, and Brad Pitt, and Dick Van Dyke, and one of those house wives girls….I think her name is Alexis.

Have you ever been to St. Louis?  Do you live here and know of a secret spot of awesomeness?  Where are the hot spots in your town?

Our dream tree...

Posted by Christina // Leave a reply

As we mentioned in this post right here, our tree is more of the sentimental type.  Full of memories and handmade ornaments.

You better believe we admire all the “pretty trees” though.

Lately I have been daydreaming of a woodsy-type sitting in our living room.
Complete with the “fresh lumberjack” scent and all. our winter woodlands Can you see an overage of burlap, lace, and white fur. 

I always see that white fur trimming at craft stores and I think it would be a perfect garland replacement.  Along with most everyone I have been admiring those bristle critter ornaments and I envision yarn balls and cotton string wrapped around our giant frosted hunk o’ tree.  Top it off with an owl and some homemade lovebird art and I think you have a woodsy wonderland.

What does your dream tree look like?
