So, we went on a float trip last Thursday with my lab…went pretty well and we generally avoided the tremendous downpour that descended upon St. Louis later in the afternoon.? The temperature was nearly perfect for floating (on the Huzzah River) and the sun stayed mostly behind the clouds.
Anyway, Brooke and I spent our First Anniversary going to Hermann for the weekend, again.? We drove in on Friday and went to dinner at the Stone Hill restaurant…good eats there, yo…? The next day, we went to Stone Hill and Hermannhoff for tasting, and then to the Robller Winery for more tasting and some blues music, which was pretty nice.? Then, we went to see the town production of “Damn Yankees,” which we’d never seen before…and honestly, it could have been a bit better…but hey, it was good entertainment.
Regardless, we had a good weekend, even without TV (not that we would have had it here…) and came back with four bottles of wine…and, the best part being, that we only spent some of our tax refund on the weekend…w00t!
Now, we’ll see if this past weekend lives up to next weekend… 😉
It’s seriously called the Huzzah river? Holy cow.
I’m going floating this weekend, strangely enough. I haven’t been in ages, and can’t remember anything about floating except “bring beer and lots of water”. Got any tips? We’ll be camping Fri night, floating saturday, then camping sat. night. _hopefully_ camping at the same spot, ’cause there’s no way we’ll be able to pack all our crap (3 people) in a canoe.
I have an unrelated question, too. Why do none of you posts have dates on them? (Or am I too blind to see them?) Maybe if I checked lisnenbardt.net every hour or I could keep them straight, but seriously.
Well, I’d recommend that you bring beer and no water, and that you wear swimming trunks and antibiotics. The latter, of course, for in case you get in the water. The swimming trunks are just for efficiently. And, hang on, you’re going with 3 people in one canoe?!? …not my first choice… 😛
Otherwise, yes, the posts don’t really have dates so much…I mean, they do, but they aren’t displayed. Not really sure why…just part of the theme, I think…
Yeah, the canoe arrangement is out of my hands. I’ve done it before, and it’s not _that_ bad, as long as you’re drinking as well.
