Our weekend trip to STL

Two weekends ago we headed to St. Louis for the men's basketball Arch Madness tourney. Aaron had to work for most of the weekend, but Avery and I had much more free time. We visited with family and Avery stayed at her Nana's house so I could take advantage of some full night's sleep at the hotel with Aaron. The weather was beautiful and we had a great time. Aaron was able to snag a few hours of personal time so we headed to the Arch for his first visit. We had a good time! The men's team played fantastic all weekend and made it into the championship game on Sunday afternoon. It was such a close game but unfortunately we lost by 3 in OT. Still, it gave us a good excuse to head to STL. Highlights below...
