But beer and pretzels do!

Sunday in St. Louis J and I toured the Anheuser-Busch brewery–and got caught in an unexpected torrential downpour complete with thunder and lightning as we walked from one building to another with our tour group. We had to wait out the rain in one of the buildings for a good 30 minutes or so.

Before the tour we snacked on a pretzel dog from Gus’ Pretzels even though we had just enjoyed Eggs Benedict for brunch at Benton Park Cafe. I just can’t resist a delicious pretzel dog. What a rare treat!

After the tour we received two complimentary beers to sample. My favorite of the four that J and I shared? Amber Bock, the dark one on the left.

This weekend, J and I traveled to St. Louis for a wedding. The ceremony, which was short and sweet, was held in a chapel on Scott Air Force Base in Illinois. The reception followed aboard the Becky Thatcher Riverboat on the Mississippi River. Sadly, the DJ did not have Lonely Island’s “I’m on a Boat,” the unofficial song of the night, among his collection of music.
