So much to talk about I don't even know where to start!
Thursday we made an adventure to Mississippi to see the infamous Graceland! I'm not exactly the world's biggest Elvis fan, but it was definitely and experience that I won't forget any time soon. Chris without a doubt loved it more than I did. I did learn that Elvis had a twin and other than one or two shows in Canada, he never did a concert outside the US!
Friday we slept in so late! I was sure we wouldn't get anything done what-so-ever! We did go to the most amazing movie theater ever and The Great Gatsby. While it isn't quite my favorite movie in the whole wide world (it would be very tough to beat Breakfast at Tiffany's or Gone With the Wind), I liked it a lot better than what I expected after hearing the reviews. Chris says I still need to read the book. Maybe I'll go buy it for my waits and plane rides in the next few weeks revolving the special Marine in my life? Anyways, then we went back to Beale St. for some dinner and live music. It was definitely the right way to make up for sleeping over thirteen hours!
Today we woke up early and headed to the Zoo. $15.00 later, we both decided we prefer the St. Louis Zoo (if not simply because it's free). We did get to see a pretty cool exhibit about nocturnal animals, which last I had checked, the zoo in STL doesn't have. After a few hours, we decided to leave the child infested area and go relax with some mani/pedis. I might add that it was the first time for me to get a mani/pedi... ever... in my twenty years of life! Oh my, let's just say I think I have found my newest addiction. Decided on a nice deep red and made up my mind I have to go more often to get my nails all done up! We came back to the room to get a little bit more dressed up so that we could go out for our last big shi-bang with a Dinner and Music Riverboat Ride. While it was a little bit of a splurge, I have to say it was well worth every penny. The views were amazing, the food not that bad, and not only was there live music, but a majority of the other dinner guests belonged to a dance school, so they were definitely putting on a show with all of there much better than me dance moves! After some hectic traffic full of cops and whistles and ridiculously annoying drivers, we made it back to the hotel, bottle of wine in tow.
While I feel like attempting to sum up these past few days in the few words that my time has allowed me to put into type is far from adequate, I can simply say that this trip was much needed. It was just nice to get away and have some fun with my best friend. Fingers crossed it becomes a tradition! :)
