Our Trip to St. Louis

Three times a year Rocky and I go to a leadership conference for business, this time it was in St. Louis. I have never been east of Colorado so this was exciting, except for that it snowed and was really cold! Those who know me know that not one bit of me likes cold but snow is pretty and the trip was fun! :)

Here we are in the Edward Jones dome, my mom brought Ashlyn to us on the break! It doesn't show in this picture but this is a huge stadium and all these seats were full there was a ton of people there! Rocky and I have alot of fun at these conferences, we have alot of friends there and it is a very positive environment! Doesn't Rocky look good in a suit! That is something a lot of you haven't seen:) Ha!

This was the first one since we had Ashlyn so my mom came with us and had some much needed Grandma time with her in the hotel room while we were in the conference. That helped us alot cuz there was no way I was going without Ashlyn.:) We don't sleep much during these weekends so it was a bit of a challenge getting up with a baby during the four hours of sleep I would have normally gotten but sleep is over-rated anyway right! lol

I wish I payed more attention to historical facts sometimes. This arch is pretty cool, but when we got home someone asked me what the arch represented and all I could say was, "something to do with the Lewis and Clark expedition I think, it's called Gateway arch or something like that." I just walked through the entire museum and that is all I could think of, what a dork! :)

This is the tiny little pod that we rode in to get to the top of the arch. They look cramped in there already now imagine me and some other guy that they put with us (he was a bigger guy too) in the pod also. Holy Chlosterphobia! (I have no idea if I spelled that right:))

This is cute! Rocky and Ashlyn looking out the window at the city from the top of the arch. I wonder what babies think sometimes, she really does look like she understands but she is probably thinking: 650 feet above ground means nothing to me:)

The view of downtown St. Louis from the top of the arch. For all of our pilot friends, definitely IFR conditions!

The flight attendants on our flight were so awesome! They gave Ashlyn this certificate for her first flight!


Naked baby on the plane! Ashlyn pooped and it went out the diaper and all over her clothes, perfect timing!

Ashlyn and I waiting to get off the airplane in St. Louis. Notice the blizzard like conditions out the window-this is the only jacket I brought for me and Rocky forgot his at the house. Luckily we brought plenty of warm clothes for Ashlyn or we would have a frozen baby.

Oh to be able to sleep anywhere:) Everyone got a kick out of this on the plane!
