I got to spend three lovely days in St. Louis over the weekend.
I stayed with a good friend who recently moved back to St. Louis
from Seattle. He lives in an amazing
restored apartment in Maplewood.
Saturday evening, I attended a gala at the Chase. I love the
Chase, and used to live a block away from it.
I’d love to live there, but it’s a little out of my price range.
What’s a gala without an after party? We hit Bailey’s Chocolate
Bar in Lafayette Square and overindulged. Love that place.
On Sunday morning, my host and I had breakfast in the CWE at an
amazing farm-to-table type restaurant. It’s inside of a greenhouse and just
gorgeous. I picked up some Paperwhite bulbs to take back to Atlanta. I’ve
already planted some and one of my favorite parts of the holiday season is
forcing bulbs.
I spent Sunday afternoon with friends and their new puppy and then
had a great dinner with my host and his partner.
Monday was spent running all over St. Louis and visiting my alma
mater. I loved catching up with friends, former bosses and colleagues.
