Yesterday we had tickets to the Elite 8 game in St. Louis! J got them from one of his mutual fund wholesalers at work. The game was at 1pm so we had planned to drive up a little early and find a place to grab lunch. But, like any city that is hosting such a big event, there was no place to eat that wasn’t packed full of people.
So…we decided we would go to the bowling alley (which was right by the stadium) and have a little bowling competition.
Random I know.
Of course, I hold the Wii bowling record in our household so there was A LOT of pressure to show up my husband.
Should I mention that we haven’t been REAL bowling in…well…I can’t even remember the last time we went.
I talked quite a bit of smack.
For no good reason I assume. I scored an 85.
Yea.
I choked.
O-well. I still hold the Wii bowling record!
We only squeezed in one game before it was time to head to the stadium and watch Tennessee vs. Michigan State. Both hubby and I were pretty neutral as to who we were rooting for. I had decided that I was going to cheer for Tennessee because I had orange shoes. Fitting, right? And hubby had an orange and white polo…so he joined me on the Tennessee side.
I guess not everyone chooses who to cheer for based on their wardrobe selection. But when you don’t have a favorite pick…you gotta choose somehow.
Unfortunately we picked the wrong team since Tennessee lost. But what a great game it was! And hubby and I enjoyed our selves to the fullest since we were kid-free (BIG THANKS TO GIGI AND PAPA!)
Since we skipped out on lunch we made sure that we got some dinner before we left the city. I have been DYING to go to The Melting Pot forever! It definitely lived up to all of my expectations and then some.
I had to BEG hubby to go there…he didn’t know anything about it other than it was “fondue”.
Apparently men don’t think fondue is manly. But, after a delicious THREE course meal…this being the main entree (and yes that is lobster)…I have made a believer out of my husband!
He should know I am always right.
Even after skipping lunch, I am pretty confident that I gained a good 10 pounds at dinner. Well worth it!

Yes, my Tennessee Vols lost! So sad, too. There season has been a story in itself. They overcame so much adversity so the season really was a success even with the loss yesterday. ESPN picked up to lose our first game, so I guess we showed them! Thanks for cheering for us. xoxo

Looks like you had a fun day! I bet it’s nice to get out, just you and your hubby. And I love that you picked your team based on your shoe color. That is so something I would do!
