St Louis/ Memphis June 2006

---

I bought tickets for the Cubs/Cardinals game earlier in the year before they sold out, but I lucked out because by chance that Mark Mulder was pitching that day. At the last minute before we left for St Louis, we decided to log in some extra miles in my new car and go to Memphis too. New Busch stadium is an impressive ballpark. It was funny because we were next to a guy from KC with his son and he told us that it was sad that he had to bring his son to see what a "real baseball game" was like (yes, the Royals suck). Memphis was cool. We ate some awesome BBQ at Interstate BBQ Restaurant and I got to visit the Brooks Museum and Dixon Gallery & Gardens. We didn't get a lot of time to explore, but we'll be going back!

Busch Stadium
Why don't the Royals have this many fans?

Memphis
This is where Memphis nightlife is, but during the day.

Just being goofy
Here I am in front of the Vistor's Center

Who is this guy?
Is this guy famous or something ;)

Dixon Gallery and Gardens
This is an art museum with 17 acres of gardens in Memphis. We got to see a cool exhibit of some collector's collection of interesting teapots. Super cool!

Relief!
I made Chris pose for this picture. Funny, huh?
