Maifest trip to Hermann

This past weekend we celebrated Larry's third College graduation with a trip to Hermann Mo, Missouri's wine country. It's one of our favorite places to go and have a fun filled relaxing vacation.



We had several friends with us and the girls took sometime to model at our first winery of the trip.



We decided to have our picnic lunch at our favorite winery. Here we are consuming what must be the largest spread of picnic food ever at Bommarito's Almond tree winery.




After lunch Nick Bommarito gave us a private tour of the winery. He let us drink from every vat of wine in the bottling room.




At the end of the day we walked up the hill to Stone Hill winery. The group was nothing but smiles. It was a perfect day for walking around the beautiful country side and enjoying time with friends.


Our ladies were the only thing more beautiful than the weather.



We usually stay in a hotel or a B&B but this time we thought we'd try camping in the park at the bottom of Stone Hill winery. It was probably the best weather we'd ever camped in.



Keeping true to both our family heritage and the heritage of the town, Sunday's lunch was German themed. Drinking soda and bottled water sure takes us back to the old country.
