Herman, Missouri

If you need a day away from it all, may I suggest a road trip? Today I experienced a relaxing day that began geocacheing in Jefferson City. There we located the coordinates and searched for the cache that had to be in someone's yard. As a "newby" I wasn't about to go into the yard of a stranger to locate a cache. After, we drove along Rt 94 with the river we stopped at the Katy Trail State Park near Portland, MO and unloaded the bikes. We road along the river as the breezes cooled us and we loved every minute of it. After returning to our vehicle we decided Herman would be the destination for lunch. We found the Hermannoff Winery near the river's edge and went inside for a basket lunch for two. The sausage, cheese, apple and french bread were wonderful. The black cherry pop was a treat. Definitely worth the drive and time to visit. As we ate our lunch in the gazebo we were reminded of just how wonderful springtime can be and how much fun we can still have together!
