St. Louis Brews Up Some Good Times in July

In July, the Red Barns decided to make a road trip out of friends Kevin and Sherri's wedding. Instead of just flying up to St. Louis, Phillip and Claire opted to load up the family truckster and make a trans-American voyage out of it. On the first leg of the trip, it was on to St. Louis. The wedding wasn't until Saturday, so the couple headed downtown to check out the Gateway Arch and downtown activities. With All-Star Weekend underway, the redheaded duo walked around Busch Stadium, checked out the scene underneath the arch and did a little gambling in a riverboat casino.



On Saturday in between the wedding, the Red Barns knocked out the most important stop in St. Louis -- the Anheuser-Busch Brewery. Dressed in their Sunday best, the two took the Budweiser tour with about 50 other individuals dressed in cargo shorts and flip flops. At the end of the tour, it was free all-you-can-drink Budweiser beer! Despite being overdressed and having someone ask if we just got married (and were honeymooning at the brewery?), it was definitely an awesome experience. After three days in St. Louis, it was on to Chicago...
