Hermann & The Iron Horse Inn


I teased you with a few outfit photos last Monday; however, as promised I have compiled the highlights from our trip to Hermann.  An overnight stay in the beautiful Iron Horse Inn bed and breakfast, along with sampling (and buying) so many amazing wines, we came back fulling rejuvinated and ready to begin another week.  Everyone we met was incredibly nice and Rhiannon at the Iron Horse Inn was everything you could want in a hostess.  Go see her, and stay in the magnificent Victorian Room.  You will not be dissappointed.

a basket of freshly baked goodies awaited us outside our door the next morning

the Hermannhof was our first winery stop on the second day

Adam Puchta was the third winery we visited and it was beautifully nustled into the country-side

there was a bistro there also, but we were so full from the wine sampling that we decided to pass

How much fun...

...was your weekend?  Ours was pretty awesome.  I'll share more details later in the week, but for now I just wanted to share a few fun photos.  We found this vineyard about 5 miles outside of Hermann.  The weather was beautiful and at the time we took these photos I think we had sampled enough wine to constitute 3 normal size glasses!

it's here!

 

Dear Readers, what are you up to this wonderful Easter weekend? I am happy to report that the hubbie and I are going to get away tonight and tomorrow. We've made reservations at a quaint Bed & Breakfast about 4 hours from here in a small town called Hermann, located right outside of St. Louis.  Hermann is nestled along the Missouri River and is known for its great wineries and local eats.  We plan on indulging in some of the local flavor in addition to relaxing for a couple of days. As for the big day itself (Sunday, of course) we'll be attending Easter service in the morning and then having a huge brunch with our closest family and friends. It should be a great weekend, indeed.  For now though, I'll leave you with this - remember last Friday when I found this wonderful hint of spring in my yard?


Well... this week I found this magnificent explosion of spring in its place!  It's official: spring has sprung!

Happy Easter and weekend! I'll see you on the flip side!
