Last Sail Before the Veil

We celebrated my good friend, Kristin's, upcoming nuptials with a fun filled afternoon checking out Ballpark Village.  We started out the afternoon getting our matching t-shirts and Cardinal beads at the Ballpark Hilton.  Then we sauntered up to 360.  It's a bar at the top of the Hilton that over looks Busch Stadium and Ballpark Village.  It used to be pretty popular when is open back in 2011(we had our after wedding reception party there, remember the fireworks? ).   

 

 We had some drinks, food and lots of pictures while we were up there.  It was a little windy but a good way to get the party started.

We then headed over to Ballpark Village to check it out.  Most of us had never been there yet, it just open at the beginning of April.  It is HUGE!  Huge projector screen TV on the wall in the main area and then there are several bars/restaurants all around.  We hung out for a majority of the time at the Brewhouse.  They have a second floor balcony that you can see into left field( and Matt Holiday) for free or grab dinner out there.  We went down to the Beer Garden for drinks and people watching.  It is great people watching there. 

Of course we planned the party to be on a game day.  So the entire area was packed during the game.  After food at Brewhouse, which was great, we headed upstairs to Howl at the Moon.  It's a national chain of dueling piano bars.  It is usually a lot of fun the more you drink and the more people you get in there. 

I didn't make it late into the evening.  I was exhausted from being up with Gabe at 6am and spending a lot of time at Bommartio Nissan (a whole other story) for most of the morning.

I cannot wait till we leave for Hilton Head and the wedding.  Time to see what the big deal is about Hilton Head.
