It was actually a pretty pleasant trip, which is saying a lot since vacations with my parents are usually...frustrating.
On Saturday, we spent the afternoon touring the Anheuser-Busch beer headquarters.
At the end of the tour, everyone was given two free large beers. Since my dad doesn't particularly like beer, he let me have his two glasses. He then realized we had 20 minutes to catch our bus, so he told me I had to chug the beers down before we caught the bus. He was then confused and upset as to why I was giggly and drunk 30 minutes later. Sigh.
On Sunday, we spent the day at the St. Louis Zoo. The morning kicked off to an annoying start because it took us TWO HOURS to find parking.
But the weather was gorgeous and I was wearing my new Forever 21 dress, so I didn't complain.
This is me and my mom. Oh, and do you see my Kate Spade iphone??? Yay!
The iphone takes amazing photos and I captured shots of the animals we saw.
Here are some of my favorites:
And here is a photo of me being a dork:
Hahaha!
I hope you all had a great weekend. xoxo!

I guess it's a little lame that even now I really love going to zoos. I mean, animals! Cool stuff! Though I could do without the scremaing kids in strollers, but give some, take some.
That's such a cute yellow dress, too! It's very summer-appropriate, I've been looking for THE perfect yellow dress for aaaages...

You look adorable!! I'm so jealous of your Kate Spade iPhone. I am hoping that Verizon gets the iPhone SOON!!
I love the zoo. I go to ours all of the time. It's the #1 zoo in the country.
Love the bear and the sea lion! Awww.
Always nice when a vacation with the parents doesn't end in disaster...
Sweet phone, btw.
u look adorable!! love the pic of the seal..glad u have a fun trip..
Good thing you had fun with your paretns.I know I can't stand going on trips with my parents.We end up getting on each other nerves and miss the all fun.Hahaha on the beer story.And wow,your iphone does take wonderful pictures I like the one with the seal,very cute.
I went to St. Louis about 4 yrs ago for the Frozen Four and I absolutely fell in love with the city. We didn't get to tour the factory, but we did check out the zoo. Wow, it was almost as wonderful as San Diego (only smaller of course)! :)
Glad to hear you had a wonderful time...love your dress!!
xoxo

Loving that dress! F21? Must go see if I can find it :)
Awe you look so pretty! These are great photos! That last one had me there for a second! xoxo
Aaaahh!!! Everytime I see photos of you it makes me wish we could hang out and talk everyday. I miss you in a heartbeat Jen.
I'm glad you had a reasonably good time with your folks. Whenever I hear you say you're doing something with them...I brace myself.
And let's see...give a girl who's about 5'0" two beers in twenty minutes. WTF did he think would happen? Duh!!
Please don't ever stop being the amazing, cute, wonderful, lovable you Jennifer. I love that we're friends.

Been told that St. Louis is a very nice city to visit - have yet to confirm this myself. What a pretty yellow dress you are wearing - it fits so nicely with your delicious skin-tone. Your mama looks very fit, too, and the animals are so sweet:-)
Lovely pics:)

Ohh I love your yellow dress & your phone!! Jealous!! Aww what cute pictures!!! I love zoos. There is one by me that I can't wait to go to when it opens. I really hope that snake tho is fake in that last pic!!! =P
I love the photos...it looks like a great trip. I love how your dad made you chug beer...hahaha!
Ah, Jennifer that color is so gorgeous on you - loving your new dress! And your Kate Spade iPhone...Cutest. Thing. Ever! I'm so glad you had a good time! You and your mom are so adorable; as are all of the animals!! :)
Glad you had a nice time with your parents and your new Forever21 dress is very cute! Cute animal pictures as well.
I'm originally from St. Louis and I'm happy you had such a great time! Parking at that zoo is super ridiculous, we usually park over by the art museum and walk our way over.
Hehe, that beer chugging story is pretty funny! In the summer in STL though, it's the norm to drink with your parents, go to the park or have a block party with BBQ.
Cripes, I just got the teeniest bit homesick. Glad you had such a good time!
You look great... if you were given two large beers each and you drunk your dad's share, you chugged down 4 large beers. No wonder you were giggly and drunk. Hahaha!
omg you took a picture of with a cobra??!!!!!
that is cool
your blog is very nice, I like it

Okay, that was exciting to hear! And thank you SOOO much, you're beautiful to!=) So you're still living in USA?
It looks like you had a lovely time!
And you look gorgeous in that yellow dress!
LOLL your dad is funny, he was the one that told you to chug the beer! And wow you touched a snake?! that's awesome, I can never find the courage to do that
that yellow dress is really lovely :) X
Your dress is beautiful!
And I just love the St. Louis zoo. I visited the city last year and was taken aback by how much work they put into a free zoo. Did you pet the stingrays?
(Also, if you're interested, I'm hosting a giveaway for the Sex and the City 2 soundtrack on my blog - stop by!)
Seems so much fun ! Your dad is kinda funny . Haha . Love your dress and iPhone ! :D
It looks like you really had fun.
Have a good weekend :)
