Sweet Home Alabama! The
Royal Family has returned from their travels & "oh what a time we had!" We started our journey by traveling to St. Louis, MO & made many stops & detours along the way.
Cranky King was a
"very good sport" & only made a few comments during a stop at a
"less than royal" flea market! He even
"got down with the people" at a farm house auction...& bought something on his own at a flea market!
 |
| After almost 11 hours, we were glad to see this sign! |
 |
| St. Louis or BUST! |
 |
| We even arrived without any speeding tickets! Yeah for the Royal Family... |
 |
| 'BIG RED' was the Royal Carriage! |
So what did we do during our travels??? Well...a little of this & a little of that...
 |
| We got our "morning jolt" with coffee from The St. Louis Bread Company |
 |
| It was Marine Week in St. Louis...& the Queen never misses an opportunity to take her picture with a soldier...didn't hurt that he was a doll! |
 |
| ...and we toasted to our trip...Washington St. Oyster Bar |
 |
| ...and we toasted some more...BB's Jazz, Blues & Soups |
 |
| We listened to some awesome Blues & Jazz. The Queen & Mr Chapman, Blues Singer. |
 |
| We went to see a St. Louis Cardinals Baseball Game. Cranky King & Queen love their baseball! Unfortunately, the Cardinals lost to the Phillies... |
We ventured over to
CHEROKEE ANTIQUE ROW in St. Louis, but unfortunately, many shops were closed. We did get to visit a funky shop called
Purple Cow Antiques where I snapped these photos. Cool, huh?
He had some great advertising signs...& look at the bridge and its mosaic water banks!
 |
| The Royal Couple had a wonderful time...& we toasted some more! |
 |
| Cranky King being his "ordinary self" at the Anheuser Busch Tour & Beer Tasting! Gosh, so many varieties of "adult beverages to choose from,,, |
 |
| Awesome wrought iron fencing. This would look great around the palace! |
We also got a chance to rummage through a great barn in Hermann, MO called the Red Barn Antiques
 |
| Loved these old wheels and tractor thingies! |
 |
| Shutters Anyone??? |
 |
| Check this out! We felt like The American Pickers? Can you guess who was the "chubby" one? |
 |
| What time is it? The Queen actually bought some of these clocks. |
 |
| Antlers are so great in the decorating now.. |
 |
| And the Queen's passion...architectural pieces! |
I will continue the tour of our travels at a later date. Cranky Queen & King have much more to share with you...
...but the Cranky Queen is tired from her trip & needs a royal nap...
KEEP CALM & CARRY ON!

Looks like (and sounds like) you had a royally great time!! Mr. Crow would have dropped me at the first stop and carried on without me I fear....You and the Cranky King make such an adorable couple!! Perhaps, though, you should have "toasted" some more... ;o) Glad you're safely back on southern turf....and you'll probably enjoy your royal bed a little bit more the next few nights....Can't wait to see more! Smiles & Hugs ~ Robin
