Spontaneous Us

Lots of super-fun things have been going on this past month. Like our impromptu trip to Turtle Park. It was a gorgeous evening right around sunset and the weather was perfect. When you get to be old married people like we are (sarcasm), it can be hard to remember the simple pleasure of hanging out in the park. And this one has giant stone turtles you can climb on. Or in (see visual proof).

We also decided on a whim to get a hotel room (get your minds out of the gutter) for the night at Lumiere Place, the new casino in downtown St Louis. It was a really quiet Monday night so it felt like we were the only people staying in the hotel and the restaurants and bars in the casino were also pretty empty. The room was nice and I got the best nights sleep ever...the bed was so comfy.

Now a lot of people think the building is really ugly. And at night it can be (sorry I don't have any pictures) because it has this band of LED lights around the outside (in the daylight picture its that brownish red strip) which, at least the night we were there, were white and it stuck out and looked terrible. But during the day I think it looks just fine. Anywho...I'm feeling a bit rambly so I'll have to continue the story of our super awesome month of May later.
