Bitches on Vacay in St. Louis

Lovers, I’m back! Just nipped out of town briefly to catch up with 20+ college girlfriends for a pseudo-reunion/post-baby baby shower/weekend of debauchery in St. Louis. I really did try to rally the troops to go to brunch on Sunday at downtown’s Rooster Café. It was highly recommended by the hotel concierge, and it looked so lovely inside. Alas, the wait was over an hour, and my posse of hangovers rejected my pleas, staggered back to the cars, and headed straight to the nearest Jack in the Box. Le sigh …

But the girls and I did manage to squeeze in a bit of sightseeing before the drinking-ahem-bonding ensued. Saturday night we decided to forfeit a stinky cab ride and take a horse-and-carriage ride to dinner instead. We were all a bit thrilled to see that downtown St. Louis has such lovely old buildings and stunning architecture. Just look!
