Road Trip Details!

Yes, for the past few days we have been on a road trip--a quick
trip to visit in-laws.  Hubby wanted to see his sister so we took
a journey up the Kansas turnpike to northwest Missouri.  We
had just a few days to accomplish this so took advantage of
the time.
We spent one day visiting the old haunts of my husband's
childhood and the next day we did a visit to Weston, MO.
a quaint historic village that hosts many antique shops
along with a few wineries and distilleries.
Our first stop was at Riverwood Winery, located in an old
school house--I liked the way they decorated the long hall; 
each classroom was a place to host a special event or dinner.

What fascinated us the most was the wall of whiskeys
and scotches!  Never seen so many of these for tasting
in one location--every marker you could think of was
on the shelf.

Driving through town we came across this interesting pub,
where of course, we needed to take a break.

Their beers on tap held interesting and unique names.
The rain continued to fall intermittently so we
soldier on into the country side--I was looking for apples! 

We came upon a farm that grew not only apples but
pumpkins!  How exciting to see our first sign of
fall!

First crop of Gala Apples!

Just picked off the trees--I would have picked myself
if it hadn't been so muddy

just look at the marvelous colors





I was in pumpkin heaven!  Another orchard we found
fresh picked Jonathon apples--
hurray!  A bushel of apples will keep us in good
health all winter along!
