Labor Day 2012-4 Hands Brewery

Since Annheuser Busch was bought by InBev, the craft beer industry in St. Louis has exploded.  For the past 2 years, I've enjoyed sampling the local fruits of the area.  Recently, a friend of DiCarlo's, Kevin, opened 4 Hands Brewery a couple of blocks from Busch Stadi​um.  Kevin and I met at a Widespread Panic concert several years back but it'd be a miracle if either of us could pick the other from a police lineup.

After the museum we decided to have some snacks and libations so we stopped.  Thanks to Kevin for opening the brewery up to us to explore.  The beer was excellent and he should be very proud of creations.

Labor Day 2012-City Museum

For the second straight Labor Day weekend, we traveled northeast to St. Louis to visit the DiCarlos.  We left after work and arrived late but there was no time to catch up on rest as we were off this morning to the City Museum in downtown St. Louis.  It was one of the best museums ever for children.  There were multiple levels both indoors and out.  The rooftop was closed due to rain so no ferris wheel and crazy bus hanging off the building.  The place is highly recommended.  You can tell by the pictures, I was in charge of Noah.  You've never lived until you've tried to scale 40-50 foot scaffolding holding a camera and chasing a fearless 6 year old. ​

P.S. This is the type of post that made me change the website again.  I love the idea of a gallery within a post instead of making so many stand alone galleries. Enjoy!​
