As you all know Dad’s Birthday is May 24th and I am always on the lookout for something that I think he would like.  This is getting to be a much harder task as the man owns every tool in the world (typical Dad gift) and he is not really that fond of ties (compared to Lloyd Jr.’s collection). 

So,for Dad’s Birthday this year we tried to get him a present that he would enjoy.  It took some thinking, but I was able to come up with two things that he likes 1) The Cardinals and 2) Eating (which is not usually a problem since Mom will cook for anyone at the drop of a hat)  But to combine these two items in a unique and pleasing arangement, we sent Dad (and Mom) to one of the Party Rooms for a Cardinal’s Game where they could watch the game and enjoy a buffet of food and drinks!  It was even pretty good seats (third level above first base)

Because the Cardinal’s were so excited about Dad’s Birthday, they arranged to have a home game right on May 24th, just for him!  (Dad said this was the first time he ever took off work on his birthday – it’s about time!)

And look – They even put up a sign in the room for him!! (Actually, Mom said there was another birthday party going on in the room, so it was a really merry group that they got to spend the evening with)  And to top it off, the Cardinal’s won! (probably because they knew what a special day it was)

They had a blast!  They stayed downtown St. Louis that evening, and were able to ride the tram from the game back to the hotel. 

Happy Birthday Dad!
