Guests to the STL

I'm amazed my eyes are still open. What. A. Weekend.

This weekend my mom and aunt were here visting me and my brother. Friday night we went to Pi, a newer pizza restaurant made famous during the presidential campaign trail. Obama even flew the chef to Washington to cook pizza for his family. I highly recommend it- it sure did live up to the hype!

Against our better judgements with the 90+ degree heat, Saturday we ended up sucking it up for a trip to the Missouri Botanical Gardens. My mom and I share no green thumb, kill all plants, and even kill most veggies in the fridge. My aunt on the other hand is a master of the garden, so we knew she'd love the acres of different types of flowers. Best part is St. Louis city and county residents get in FREE before noon! Seriously, if you haven't checked this place out yet you really should! The Climatron was my favorite part- a simulated rain forest, complete with poisonous frogs! This one was my favorite:

After showering off the 100% humidity, we settled in for a bbq with friends and kept the night very relaxing! It's always nice to have family in town, but boy am I pooped!

Here's to a great weekend!
