We headed out Friday morning and were excited about having no schedule except hoping to get down to Columbia by about 6pm. We stopped a few different times, one of them being in Ottumwa, IA. We visited the cemetery where Grampy and Grammy are buried, and got malts at Southside Drug. It was nice to be back to see Grammy's grave, since it wasn't there when we were there in June.
We got to Columbia right at about 6pm on the nose and went to Mari's apartment!
That night we went out to dinner and then just hung out at her place. We woke up leisurely the next morning and headed out around 9:30 to wander around Columbia. Josh goes to Mizzou, so it was fun to see the campus. It's beautiful!
After doing some shopping and lunch at a brewery, we headed for a wine tour and tasting at Les Bourgeous Winery.
It was a SUPER fun way to spend the afternoon on a chilly winter day!
After dinner we checked into a motel and went swimming/hottubbing. Part of the pool was outside, so we got to swim in 15 degree weather under the full moon. It was pretty cool!
Jenna and I left Mari on Sunday morning and headed to see Jenna's brother-in-law Ben and sister-in-law Mandi who live in St. Louis. They took us around to some of the sights, and again there was more wine.
We ate at an awesome Mexican restaurant last night for our last meal in Missouri.
While I was away, the girls were well taken care of by their daddy and other family members. I FaceTimed them last night and they were goofy, as usual.
Today they went to Boom's house and got to hang out with Boom, Lucy and Iris all day!
Jenna and I were tired this morning but grateful to have a fun weekend away!
Have an awesome week!
