We left the hotel and went to Webster Groves and had brunch at Stafford Restaurant where we met up with two cousins of Hardy's. He had never met these two and Nancy was from his mother's side and Carol was from his father's side. They both live in that area but did not know each other...now they do! They were both a delight to meet but we forgot to take any pictures. How redundant is that!
After the brunch, which lasted for three hours, we went back to the hotel then started geocaching in the area. The geo's that we found were in the downtown area close to the hotel and in parks nearby. One of the caches was a multi-cache in City Garden which has sculptures all over and this cool fountain of dancing water that the kids were really enjoying running through and getting totally soaked and trying to catch the water. We had to go from sculpture to sculpture and answer questions to get the coordinates of the real cache and sign the log book. There were two young girls where we signed the log book so we explained what we were doing so maybe they would want to start geocaching too.
Later that evening we went to an Irish restaurant called the "Dubliner" for dinner. After that we stopped at Jack Patricks which is an Irish Pub. I asked a young man if we had to go in to order our drinks and he very politely told me that he was just a customer but we did have to go inside. He wanted to know if we were from there and we told him we were from out of town and there celebrating my birthday. He bought me my birthday drink!
