Tour of Missouri

We LOVE living in St. Louis! There are always fun things to do on the weekends, and the best part is you can always find something free (from the zoo to the science museum, and so much more). This past weekend we got a call from a friend who told us about stage 6 of the tour of missouri that was finishing in downtown St. Charles. Let me explain because I had absolutely no idea what that meant. Everyone has heard of the Tour de France (whether you're a cycling fan or not), well there are other "tours"--one of them being the Tour of Missouri. It was broken down into 7 stages (or days). The stage 6 finish and awards ceremony was in our town of St. Charles, so we decided to head downtown (and by downtown I mean quaint historic town with cobblestone streets and quirky shops) for the event. I also didn't realize, until we got there, how big of an event this was. I figured it was people from MO participating in a fun race. Apparantly I was wrong. It almost seemed as though there were more international cycling teams than domestic ones. Anyway...we had a lot of fun watching them cross the finish line for stage 6 and receive their various awards. We brought our camera, but the darn battery died on us before we got any pictures of the cyclists or the awards. Feel free to visit www.tourofmissourifanzone.com for some great photos and videos. Why am I posting this, you ask, if I don't have pictures to post? Well, I do...just not of the race. I have a few of the girls and then some of, well...you'll just have to scroll down to see what else (but be warned, it might make you quesy).


So you might say to yourself, "Self, what is wrong with some lady with really long, fake, manicured toenails?". Then I would respond by saying, "Sure, there may be nothing wrong with a woman with toes like these, but this is no woman". You heard correctly, these fabulously (and ridiculously) manicured toes, which Ryan and I are convinced were fakes, belonged to a man!
