Vacations - Whatcha Doin?

[CentralTimeSmoke]

Headed into St. Louis this weekend to meet up with some high school buddies. There will be golf, whiskey and lots of cigars. I hope to revisit the Charles Stanley lounge/bar. One of the few places left in the Midwest in which that combination is allowed.

I don't have any huge vacation plans this year. I think the lady and I are planning a trip to Eureka Springs for my birthday in October. It's supposed to be a nice weekend getaway locale. I might try to sneak in a weekend trip to Vegas at some point, too.

Give St. Louis a wave for me. My wife and I are planning to fly there, with the dogs, in December to visit remaining family.

We both grew up in Belleville, IL. On the "wrong side" of the river.

Belleville? I have cousins and an aunt in Belleville...if they are still there. Don't keep in very good contact with them. Did go visit them there once many years ago.

Unfortunately that whole area has really swirled the toilet bowl. It's not the town I grew up in any more, and every time I go back I'm appalled at how it's changed so much for the worse.

For the sake of your family, I hope they moved.

Does this mean there's a fellow Cardinals fan on this here forum??

I miss it. I grew up in the historic suburb of Webster Groves about 15 minutes outside of the city. My two best friends have moved away, and this is the first time we'll all be back there in some time. Amazingly, I think the weather is going to be mild. The last time I was in STL during the summer, it was miserable to be outside 24 hours a day. Had to go to a few lounges to smoke. There's a few gems there if you have any free time in the city. Like I said, Charles Stanley is top notch. The Hill Cigar Company is also nice, but I find their stock to be over humidified, so I bring my own sticks. And Grand Cru in Soulard has probably the best boutique selection I've ever seen. It's a small humidor, but it's all the good stuff.

Yep - when I follow Baseball, I always check on how the Cards are doing.

StL weather is it's own thing. That's for sure. I'll be making a list from what you posted here. I sure need a getaway from the MIL and my own parents, on occasion.
