Almost over

We're in St Louis tonight (and Audrey and Brian have gone to the pool.) We stopped at Grant's Farm on the way in this afternoon. It's owned by Anheuser-Busch. It's the farm where the Clydesdales are bred and raised. We saw a couple of foals. It's also sort of a zoo with a Deer Park with all sorts of animals. Audrey bottled fed some goats and had her first snow cone (wild cherry.) She also enjoyed another carousel ride. Also on the grounds is a log cabin built and lived in by Ulysses S Grant. His in-laws were the original owners of the property and when he married into the family, they gave him 80 acres. (thus Grant's Farm)

We're staying in a Hampton Inn ... I checked us in this afternoon and they gave me room keys. We unloaded the Pilot onto one of those baggage carts and came up to the room. Tried to get in and the keys didn't work. Went back to the desk and they redid the keys. This time when I tried to use them, I could hear people in the room. I knocked on the door and spoke to the man. Then went back downstairs to the front desk. They don't exactly know what happened (ha!) but they gave us another room and these keys worked and there was no one already in the room. So, we're leaving to go next door for dinner and Audrey had forgotten her headband. I said I would go back and get it. As I'm coming back down the hallway, I see a couple messing with their room keys and sure enough, it's the people we almost walked in on and I have to ride down the elevator with them. They were talking about having their keys redone and I admitted that I was the one who tried their door. We were able to laugh about it because it had happened to the man before except he was the one who had walked in on someone else. (yoy!)

We're going to a St Louis Cardinals baseball game tomorrow. It was supposed to start at 3pm but it's been moved to 5:35 to accommodate tv scheduling. There's also some sort of street fair downtown around the St Louis Arch. We hope to be at the Arch pretty early before it gets too busy.
