Dear Jennifer,
Thanks for visiting! You gave me an excuse to go to Grant’s Farm. I had heard about it, but never gone.
The main reason to go? CLYDESDALES.
There also are elk, deer, giant rabbits, goats, zebras, donkeys, peacocks, llamas, water buffalo and camels (seriously) to admire.
And as it is the Busch Family estate, two free samples of beer.
What’s not great is the tram system. I did not realize you had to take a tram from the parking lot to the main attraction area, then wait for a tram to take you back.
This would be a fine plan if the retirees in charge filled the trams each. They did not. You and I were both annoyed by the lengthy wait times in the broiling sun.
Anyway, I’m glad we went. I’m also glad we enjoyed the many other lovely things this city has to offer:
- Jibaritos at Mayo Ketchup
- Chocolate Cabernet (naughty) ice cream at Clementine’s
- Oh Hawaii at Square One Brewery and Distillery
- Prosciutto sandwich at Sqwires
- General vibe of Lafayette Park
- The view at Vin de Set
- The overall experience of Soulard Farmers Market
- The performers at the Boom Boom Room
- The pulled pork at Bogart’s Smokehouse
- The sheer insanity of City Museum (of course)
- The Plum Funk at Sliced Pint
- The decor at Venice Cafe
- The interesting character at the JAM gig inside Ameristar Casino
- And, of course, the pizza at IMO’s Pizza
We hit some major St. Louis highlights.
And we even saw a rainbow.
It was such a fun weekend, but now I’m exhausted!
Next time, I promise we will squeeze in Broadway Oyster Bar.
Safe travels, and come back soon!
Love,
Beth
*Thanks, Randy.

What a cool list. Now I totally want to go the Boom Boom Room.
