Hi everyone!
So it is 'hump' day already. Hopefully it will be the weekend before we know it!
Last night my boyfriend and our two 15 year olds went on a really fun adventure here in St. Louis. If you are looking for something fun and unique please consider checking this out!
David, from Riordan Tours took them on the Haunted History Tour. He takes you on a stroll that starts at the Morgan Street Brewery and will lead you to the Arch.
More than a haunting, it was a fabulous history lesson. Some stories maybe familiar but others will be new to you. The Exorcism that became so infamous, Cholera epidemic, etc. It is an hour and a half of interesting stories and sites.
Check out their website to schedule your today! www.riordantours.com

Ozarkland
Happy Monday!!!!!
Did you all have a good weekend? What did you do for fun?
I took an unplanned, last minute trip to Columbia, MO. On the way home I stopped by Ozarkland gift shop off of highway 70. Talk about a must see place!!!!! I only know of this location and there is one at Lake Ozarks also.
You walk into this throwback general store kind of feel. It is packed with all kinds of eye candy! Where else can you find the funniest hillbilly souvenirs? Tons of t shirts, shot glasses and moccasins. Homemade fudge that melts in your mouth. There are rows of Elvis, Marilyn Monroe and Betty Boop trinkets.
This is a definite 'must stop' on your next road trip if you come across one. It will not disappoint!
What unique stores/shops have you come across in your travels?

Farmers' Markets
Hi everyone! It is a new week, ready for some new opportunities.
Everyone loves some fresh fruit and vegetables. Or maybe some fresh milk? Great smelling chemical free soap? How about heading to your local farmers' market this upcoming week/weekend?
There are so many in Missouri. You can Google search for your area if you are not aware of any.
In Franklin County there are 6 that I know of. There is one in each of the following towns: Labadie, New Haven, St. Clair, Sullivan, Union and Washington. New Haven, Union and Washington are open during the week and on the weekend. The rest are Saturday only.
I attend the one in St. Clair. There is a farm located in Lonedell, MO that I love. http://www.doublediamondddairy.com/
They have fresh goats milk and cows milk. Wonderful chemical free soap. The best tasting cheese made right there. Deb is a super friendly gal, always available for your order. If you are n the Lonedell area please check them out.
Do you have any Farmers' Markets you love? What are your best finds there? I'd love to hear about it!
Have a great week and consider visiting your local markets and supporting our local farmers!

Zombie Run
Today's weather has proven to be a lot nicer than the rest of the week has been! The City Garden is full of people bringing their children to enjoy all the water features.
The weekend is fast approaching. Have you made any plans yet? If not perhaps consider the Zombie Run. This has already taken place in many other cities but it is now St. Louis's turn! I am going to try to go watch and take some photos, no promises.
For the details please go to www.thezombierun.com and click on St. Louis. I personally think it wuld be more fun to be a zombie.
Let me know if you go and what you thought of it!

Road Trips
It is hard to get my thoughts together on a Monday morning! But the weekend was great.
My boyfriend and I took a road trip on Saturday and saw some great places. It may take me a while to get it all posted on here but I want to share the experience.
We had a plan to head to Hannibal, Mo but on the way we made several unexpected stops along the way. To me that is where the magic happens! Getting side tracked by something unplanned that grabs your attention, so you veer off your path to investigate.
Road trips are one of my favorite things to do. Load up the cooler ( which I tend to forget),grab the camera, gas up the car and go!
There are those planned routes to take that can be a lot of fun but sometimes the most fun I have had are the trips that I just got in and drove, turned when I saw something that captured my attention. There are so many 'hidden' gems off the beaten path that exploring is so much fun.
Do you like to take road trips? Day long, weekend long or more? Any tips you have for enjoying road trips more?

Father's Day Weekend
Hello all! It is finally the weekend! It seems like it took forever in getting here. This is a special weekend for many, Father's Day. Do you have a special tradition that your family practices on Father's Day? I sadly, am not in contact with my father. He is alive and I hope well. And I am sure Sunday will cause me to reflect back on our relationship, wishing it could be something other than what it is.
Relationships are difficult rather it is a friendship, mother child, father child or husband and wife. It requires constant effort on the part of all involved in order to succeed. Sadly, you can't force anyone to hold up their end of the relationship.
Having experienced a break in my relationship with my father, there is nothing on Earth my daughter could ever do to make me never want to be a part of her life.
Ok, so I got a little off topic, kinda!
What are your plans if any for the weekend? There is always Six Flags where you can experience the new roller coaster, The Boomerang. Or you can relax in Hurricane Harbor and try to stay cool.
If you are looking for a unique dinner, how about heading over to Tower Grove Park for Food Truck Friday. It is from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. Truck after truck lined up with delicious eats!
Whatever you decide feel free to share!
Have a spectacular weekend and a Happy Father's Day to all you father's out there.
