Wine Fest 07

Matt & I made our annual trip down to Hermann, MO for the annual Oktoberfest celebration. This year we were excited to take my Sister Danielle & her boyfriend Chris with us. Once we were down there we went shopping at the Warrenton, MO outlet mall until the rest of our party was there. Then we checked into the Bed & Breakfast where we were lucky enough to get the "house" which was a 5 bedroom house with 2 bathrooms, full kitchen & living room. There ended up only being 4 couples, it was still worth the cost.

Friday night once everyone got into town we headed off to a local restaurant then back to the b&b for the bon-fire & of course some drinks. The bon-fire wasn't as fun as it had been in the past since it was almost 85 degrees at 10pm at night, but the drinks were cold.

Saturday off to the wineries we only ended up going to 3 of them since we got somewhat of a late start. We still made our way down the hill to the Hermannoff winery by 1pm. The party was all ready started & we all just joined in. Once settled the women decided to split from the men & visit the local antique shops. Not much money was spent shopping in these shops but we did have a lot of fun just girl talking. We met back up with the men around 5:30 or so that way we could get to out dinner reservations by 6:30 at yet another winery. Back to the house to play some games of Goof & Apples to Apples. Another late night.

Sunday we headed for home of course stopping a the outlet mall within an hour of home & doing a little Christmas shopping.

The entire weekend was a lot of fun & pretty relaxing. Just what Matt & I needed.
