This was damn good, better than Greek Village Inn from Sac-Town. Today was another good day. Although I was woken up at 3:00 AM by people talking and microwaving stuff and was tired most of the morning and early afternoon, we still all had a good time. Started off with some grubbin' Greek food, and then headed out to Forrest Park to check out their history museum.
St. Louis was the site for one of the World Fairs. back when they used to have them, and of course Charles Lindbergh, first to make a solo trans-Atlantic flight, was from St. Louis, so they were hightlights of the museum. I was mostly impressed that there was another museum that was not only open, but free of charge! very cool.

Clowning around! was rather small and we all lost money I guess I would have been more impressed with the place if I had won.
Last stop of the night was the Buffalo Wild Wings for dinner. We all ate some wings and fellas, I gotta tell you their Blazin' sauce is no joke. Your lips will burn and you'll sweat, and later on you will pay for it. I know I am going to pay for it!

Oh, last thing - the photo of me with the women is from Texas at Bone Daddy's. Finally got the polaroid scanned, so thought I would share. I think I will put it in the Texas blog, too.

Bone Daddy's - in your wildest dreams! Maybe me, though. (I say this as your Mom is drying her hair). Really enjoying your photos - we also liked the Landry's photo. Glad you are having a good time. If you have the chance to go to Ozzie's, let me know. It was owned by Ozzie Smith - we went there many moons ago on a business trip. Food was pretty good. Weather supposed to warm up here today - we'll see. Say hi to Paul and Matt for us. Dad.
