St Louis Adventure

Matt managed to get a full weekend off and we schedule our next trip to spend the weekend with him.  It turned out to be an absolutely gorgeous weekend.  Sunny and not too hot.  Couldn't have asked for better weekend.  Of course the company helped make it great.

We started the weekend off on Friday with Lunch at Gioia Deli.   The sandwiches were fantastic as is most food on The Hill (the Italian section of St Louis). Sandwiches were huge and delicious.    For dinner we meet Hannah and really stepped out of my comfort zone and went to a Nicaraguan restaurant, Frittango.  Oh my was it good.  We had plantains cooked several different ways.  They serve a lot of beef in Nicaragua, so most of the dishes were beef cooked and spiced in several ways,.  Served with rice.   


Day two started off with a trip to the St Louis Zoo It was beautiful and really crowded and I think all of St Louis was there.  Dave and Matt dropped Hannah and I off and it took them forever to find a place to park.  We had lunch at Guerrilla Street Food shop - awesome dishes with jasmine rice and different kind of meat.  Soooo good.  Then dinner was at Tuckers Steak House.  Steaks were cooked perfectly, service was great - nice end to a great day.


Sunday was just as beautiful and Saturday.  Nice breeze and sunny.  We decided to drive south to St Geneveve and tour some of the wineries and breweries there.  Upon the recommendation of someone we met at the Crown Valley Brewery we went to Chaumette Vineyard and Winery where we tasted some just okay wine but had a great lunch out on their deck looking out over the fields of grapes.  The food was great as was the company.

St. Louis is a beautiful city with many things to do and filled with quaint little restaurants that are not chains.  Well worth the trip
