All Star Weekend

Going to a Cardinals game is always a good time, but getting to go for All Star Weekend was unbelievable. Neither one of us had been to the new stadium and Byron was like a kid at Christmas checking out all the All Stars, Hall of Famers and Erin Andrews :)

It almost rained us out Sunday for the Celebrity game. It was postponed over 3 hours but was very entertaining. Mike & Mike were the coaches (Natalie's favorite morning show hosts). Let's see, we saw Ozzie, Nelly, Chingy, Billy Bob Thornton, Shaun Johnson, Bobby Knight, and a ton more that I can't remember.




Monday we went over to the Fan Fare. They had a ton of games to play and a lot of Hall of Fame memorabilia. We had lunch down on the Landing then headed over to the park for the Home Run Derby. We even ran into a few mascots while walking around.




Tuesday we got up early and headed downtown to watch the "Red Carpet" Parade. We actually lucked out and found good spots in front of the hotel where the players were staying and the parade began.


Then we went straight to the ball park. The line to get in was crazy long and there was a ton of extra security since President Obama was throwing out the first pitch. All and all, we had a blast. It was an experience of a life time. Thanks Vann & Sue for taking us!

Yeah, that's a sniper on top of the stadium.
