In this second, and last installment of the St.Louis Trip, you can see some photos from Dave and Barry's which we spent some time and $$$ at last night. If you get a chance to go and like the interactive video games and spending alot of money on cheap prizes, this is the place for you! This morning we got up, ate another bowl of cold cereal and stale danishes and headed out for Hermann, MO. Home of Stone Hill Winery, and bithplace of our favorite wines. We took the trip a few years ago and liked the place and since we were in the area we decided to go aout again. We did the tour for all of $4 for the 4 of us and learned some cool things about our favorite wines... In the photo of the barrels stacked up in a pyramid, you are looking at the newest batch of the Port wine. This is good stuff! And in the other barrels are the other red wines fermenting and aging. This winery was established in the 1830's but took a big hit during prohibition when it went from making wine to growing commercial mushrooms! After the tour and wine tasting we went to the restaurant and had a great meal. From there we went to the St. Louis Mills Mall and checked out the Cabelas, and a few other specialty stores. But we were pretty tired, and the kids really wanted to hit the pool so as of this writing we are back at the hotel, swimming, looking at delivery menus and basically just relaxing. So, I guess it is time to get wet, eat and maybe play a game... family time... just like we wanted.
Later!
