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!
