St. Louis Area and Durango, CO
July 2007

n July 2 we attended our first game in the Cardinals' new stadium courtesy of Jacquie's brother, Den, where we sat in the cool Redbird Club where there are exclusive consession areas and great views from the first base side. The weather was perfect, the Cards won big 11–3 over the Diamondbacks, and Jacquie got her portobello mushroom fries that she had been dreaming of for months.

We also visited Durango before returning home. The following pictures show our adventure:

On July 5 we went over to Busch Stadium and with the help of a very nice Cardinal employee were taken to Jen and Shawn's brick. It was located in the last possible spot we would have looked. We then toured the Cardinal's Hall of Fame across the street where we viewed the 2006 World Series trophy up close.
