My favorite day of the year. Opening Day. The happiest day in St. Louis. SNOW? Seriously!?!? Yes, I'm afraid. Not only snow but 30 degree weather...maybe even in the 20's...maybe not, but it felt like it. Scratch that - it felt like 20 below. But Dang! it was worth it! :) John & I layered up & headed down to the stadium. We didn't have tickets but the intentions to go belly up to one of the bars outside of the stadium. But when we got down there, John thought we could scalp some tix...hmm...I'm not really what you'd describe as "risky"...which, the act of scalping seriously seems to be exactly that. I don't know...I'm just not comfortable with doing something like that...illegal, isn't it? Apparently, it is but the po-po don't seem to mind down at the ballpark. So......I witnessed his scalping skills...some good...some, well, I will get to that.... We got these $37 tix for 20 bones. I thought, "SCORE"! but after we got in the stadium & bought our first brewskie, we realized that YES, they were in the same section, but NO, they weren't together. HUH?? WHAT FOOLS! We totally got schnookered by that scalper guy! So...we decided to just stand with the standing room section & walk around. That was definitely the better idea than sitting & turning into an ice cube in our seats (not together). John even signed up for a credit card to get me a free blanket. What a trooper! Although it was cold and the Cards lost in the 9th inning to the Pirates, we had a great time. We have tix for the game on Friday night. I hear it's supposed to be in the 60's. That's what I'm talking about! GO CARDS!
You guys are too cute! Glad you had fun! :)
