I decided to make a weekend of it & started off by booking a rental car through Enterprise and a hotel through Orbitz at Drury inn. The guys at Enterprise were amazingly nice and gave me an upgrade for my wait! Saturday morning we made the 4 hour drive to St. Louis and stopped at the Science Museum in St. Louis first! My nephew had a blast & best part about the museum was that most of it is free! We did go back the next day to watch the Age of Airplane movie. The movie was good and explained the history of aviation and how it has evolved! We then headed to the hotel and when we arrived at the hotel and the front desk was very welcoming and friendly! We did not have to wait long to check in and were headed to our room. We dropped off our stuff and headed to the Scott Trade Center for the game.
We arrived at Executive office where they gave my nephew a goody bag with a Jersey, poster, calendar and magnet. We then got to go back near the locker room to meet a player and get his autograph and pic. After that they told my nephew he could fist bump the players when they headed out to the ice. Thankfully my friend and her husband came and were able to video tape this from two angles. They also had a camera man video tape him and during the 1st intermission they played it on the jumbotron! My nephew was so excited about this! The game was all of our 1st NHL experience and the St. Louis blues even won the game! Couldn't have had a better 1st NHL game experience!!
