You Can Find Me In St. Louie

Babbitt was still on a Kansas City high as we drove into St. Louis, MO.  For some reason he just couldn't shake his new favorite city & even though St. Louis gave us a great place to take a sunset jog at the Laumeier Sculpture Park, the thickest custard we've ever tasted at Ted Drewes plus the one & only St. Lunatics he still wasn't feeling it.
The Hill Neighborhood in St. Louis, MO
Our first order of business the next day was to try the Amighetti Special at Amighetti's,
which is referred to by many as the best sandwich in St. Louis...it may very well be
"Often Imitated, Never Duplicated," but we didn't think it was the best of anything
The Gateway Arch in St. Louis, MO
This iconic monument symbolizes the westward expansion of the United States
Babbitt in the Journey To The Top Capsule
We felt like Michael & Janet Jackson in the Scream video as we rode 630 feet up in the air
The Old Courthouse with the Gateway Arch in the background
We happened to park next to the courthouse that held the famous Dred Scott case...this is also where
we noticed an intoxicated man attempting to remove our bikes from the rack...he was unsuccessful


The O'Babbitt's at the original Budweiser Brewery in St. Louis, MO
Even though we went on the same tour in Colorado, we couldn't pass up the first home of Bud Light
The buildings here were more historic than those in Ft. Collins, plus we got to see a real life Clydesdale


Katie enjoying a Straw-ber-rita after our tour
Our expectations were high when entering this tasting room...when we were in Ft. Collins we got a few
extra tastings, but we learned quickly that the original King of Beers sticks with a 2 drink maximum

Gus' Pretzels in St. Louis, MO
These pretzels came highly recommended on the Internet, but after trying them first hand,
it turns out they are just regular pretzels...luckily delicious carbs never hurt anyone


Federhofer's Bakery home of the Gooey Butter Cake
Gooey Butter Cake is one St. Louis delicacy that didn't let us down
O'Babbitt Tip: If you ever go to St. Louis, don't leave without a Gooey Butter Cake
