This part will be the New Kids on the Block concert trip! Lorea, Johanna, Kim & I decided back in May or June that we just HAD to re-live old times and check out NKOTB in St Louis! We had a great time, which included a trip to the Des Perez mall. (That's apparently pronounced "Day Pa-ray" for those of you who don't know. Don't worry...I sounded like all the other "foreign" out-of-towners and pronounced it just like it looks, too. I'm so imaginative.)
Anyway, after lunch at T-Bell, we stopped at the mothership of all shopping fanatics to ooh and aah at the pricey items they had on "SALE".
I tried these on, but decided not to buy them because they don't seem to cover my ENTIRE face! I look like a dang owl! Hoo hoo...
After we left the mall we decided to stop to grab some liquid treatsies to enjoy before the concert. Luckily, Kim brought along some snacks that prevented us from eating in establishments that feel the need to post this on the door:
Does this mean that they don't SERVE animals either? Hmmmmm.....
I only have about 5 photos taken with my sucky phone at the concert since I didn't take my camera with me. I ASSUMED that no cameras would be allowed, but apparently I was the only fool that didn't get the message: FORGET YOUR CAMERA AND YOU'll BE THE ONLY FEMALE IN THE ENTIRE SCOTTRADE CENTER WITHOUT ONE!!! Also, my stinkin' batteries died on me before we even left the hotel room....Again, typical! But, in my defense, someone traded 2 of my fresh new Obama batteries for 2 old, stinky, near death, tease you with a handful of pictures before I call it quits batteries. (Kat claims that they were "on the couch"...huh? Don't think so, sister. Try that song and dance on someone who doesn't take photos every single moment of the day...) Anyway, here's one of the photos of Joey, Danny, Donny, Jon & Jordan....ah, sweet memories.
If Johanna wants to "donate" some of her pics, there are great ones to be seen of us hallway surfing on the luggage cart. It's so nice to know that when the kids aren't around, we do all of the things we would totally yell at them for even thinking about. I guess they will too, one of these days!!
