BITS OF MY WEEKEND, PART ONE: ST. LOUIS

I hope everyone had fun relaxing or adventuring or some swirly combination of both for the long weekend. I went on an impromptu trip to St. Louis and Memphis which was a blast! Despite reports of heavy rain heading in from Isaac, we persevered with our plans. Highlights from STL include wandering around the Left Banks Books neighbourhood (not sure what the real name of this area is but we were at the Euclid St location), eating some deep dish pizza, marveling at the Arch (didn't have time to go up) and a visit to City Museum takes the cake for highlight of the trip (possibly highlight of my life. I'll have a post devoted to this magical place later this week). We also stopped at a nifty antiques shop on the way down.
