With the parents in town

My parents were in town this past weekend! We did lots of fun & FREE St. Louisy things and went to lots of great restaurants and my mom made pie. All in all it was a wonderful weekend! I won't bore you with descriptions; I'll just cut straight to the pictures.

We started out with a trip to the seminary to see the new campus. I don't know why I like this picture of me and schub... both caught a little off guard :-)

The we went to the Basillica Cathedral. It is BEAUTIFUL and has the largest collection of mosaic tyle in the country (I think that's right). My pictures of inside weren't very good, so you'll just have to imagine what it looked like inside based on what you see outside. except that doesn't really do it justice either. it's really quite incredible.

Then we headed to the art museum. Dad wanted to see the Pollack (?) exhibit. It was pretty good. Here's mom taking pictures. She can't help herself.

On Saturday we made it to the botanical gardens. We could not have picked a better day. It was chilly, but gorgeous! Here's mom and jason in front of one of the Niki displays (the current featured artist in the gardens).

More Niki. She was unique... to say the least. I only took pictures of her tamer things.

Me and mom in front of some of the Chihuli blown glass.

I'm sure this is called "Boy with Flute" or something, but Jason called it "Larry Goodman." ha.

Schub and Chihuli.

My cute parents.

I was enamored by these fish for some reason. They are so used to being fed that they just open their huge mouths when people walk by. It was hilarious. Therefore I'm posting their picture.

Strolling through the gardens...


Little mom in the maze....

We had such a great time! Thanks so much for coming!
