Icy, Icy Louisville


Today we had to stay another day becuase it was too dangerous to drive 450 miles! There was snow everywhere, more ice, and there were a bunch of accidents between here and St. Louis. We had breakfast in the hotel because we didn't want to drive around and then we went to go explore the town. We took a trolley down to 4th Street again to go see if the bowling alley was open. It was closed and then we learned that everything else in the town was closed. We took the pedwalks back to the hotel and on the way we stopped to buy tickets from a man who was selling Cardinal basketball tickets that we found on Craigslist. Then we watched TV in the hotel for about an 1 1/2 and then we drove around looking for dinner. We ended up eating at another restaurant on 4th Street at a Hard Rock Cafe and had a great meal! We drove to the stadium and found our seats in the top section in Row Z. We had a great time, but the game was pretty lopsided. I believe the score was 80 to 54, Louisville won!. Beck was so excited to be there and he even tracked down the mascot and gave him a high-five, which he is usually too scared to do! He even got a shirt from one of the cheerleaders as we were leaving and he's now wearing it to bed! We drove home but we have to go to bed early because we need to drive a long way in the morning! It isn't supposed to snow tonight so we are going to aiming for Kansas City tomorrow!
