Andrea Jakes Steaks is wonderful. One of our favorite places for a good steak. Hannagans is very good also. If money is not an option Ruths Chris Steak House is good. The Old Spagetti Factory is popular I just don't happen to care for it. Google Lacledes Landing St. louis and you can find out about all about it. Cobblestone streets and print out a map there area one way streets and alot of parking lots so you don't have to walk far. There is a walk way that takes you from the arch to The Landing. Have Lots Of Fun!! (not to scare you but make sure you don't have valuables showing and try to park in a lot where you pay it is usually better) I have never had any problems and I haven't heard anything in a long time but it is in the city and things happpen.

The Arch is great just took D there the day before he left. We live in the area and he had never been up in it. There are alot of places to eat right next to it on Lacledes Landing. Enjoy

Hi everyone glad to hear everyone seems to be doing well.
Marci love the new do I think you should keep it!
Laura Sounds like you are ready for Sunday... YIPPY Skyler will be here so soon!! Can't wait to see him.
Something for you young ones to look forward to. We took our mock granddaughter to "Donalds" last night. We had no idea that it was family night and the place was packed with VERY loud screaming kids. We couldn;t even talk it was so loud. After eatting her burger and fries Abi asks "can we leave now?" She didn't even want to play it was so crazy!! I asked her if she wanted to go home and she said no so we went to Target and I told her she could have one thing. My husband tols her if she gave him a hug she could have two. She got a Snow White costume and a baby doll. Guess she has us wrapped around her little finger! Kids are great .....when they are not screaming haha

I'm not exactly sure how this sounds but I would not even consider the sanitizer. I would say like fine china you can look but you cant touch. Its so hard to tell people that but he will just be to young. Be careful on your drive. Take it day by day and dont push yourself. Remember you need to take care of you so you can take care of Skyler. Sorry the nurse in me came out too. 9 days cant wait

When I got D's shirt I put it on his bed and his dog sleeps on it all the time.(of course that was after I had sniffed all the scent out of it heehee) Should have thrown it on the floor then it would have been like he was still home! LOL

ClassixCarrie that just made me tear up! That is the sweetest thing ever. To have an older brother that you look up to is so awesome and his is definately a big brother worthy of that!!
