We parked in the usual lot and walked over to Busch Stadium (Seriously...I get the same rush walking into the stadium as I do at Kinnick. :)) We got there about an hour before the game started which gave us plenty of time to find our seats, take some pictures and get some food.
Oh and did I mention that it was over 100 degrees with the heat index? Yeah...it was a very hot and sticky night at the ballpark! It was too hot to eat much, which was good for me. I had to have a hot dog though! I also love that you're allowed to bring in bottled water. I froze 4 bottles and they stayed cold the whole night!

When you sit in Big Mac Land you get lots of free stuff!
My favorite player...Albert Pujols! Who just so happened to hit a home run for me!
I knew he'd do it for me eventually!
The first 2 innings were the most exciting, but in the end the Cards pulled off a win!
It was nice getting into the car and feeling a blast of air conditioning. I felt so disgusting the whole night and totally looked like a man because half my shirt was soaking wet from sweat. It was totally worth it though!
We got home at midnight and I headed straight to bed. As much as I needed a shower, I needed sleep even more. Amazingly I felt great all day even with only 6 hours of sleep. I realize some people function on 6 hours or less on a daily basis, but I'm an 8 hour girl.
Saturday we're spending the day in Villa Grove with family and then next Friday I'm taking a half day and we're all off to yet another Cards game. My very first Cards/Cubs game. This should be fun! I do believe my lucky streak will continue. I've been to 3 games and have never seen a loss!
Batter batter SWING!!! Glad you had so much fun. I would have not liked the HEAT!!! More power to you. Of course you had to have a hot dog - what would a ball game be without that. Also that is good that you can bring water in, wish every place would allow that.
