We started with brunch at Westport Cafe with Sabine and her family. Then it was out to the country! We drove under heartbreakingly blue skies to the little town of Weston, MO. There, we visited some shops and had a blissfully cool bottle of white wine under the arbor at Pirtle Winery.
A really wonderful pottery shop in Weston |
On day when it's 106 degrees, an icy bottle of wine is just the thing |
The courtyard at Pirtle Winery |
A gin fizz and a herbed lemonade cocktail (and a taste of the housemade vermouth) |
The bar at Justus Drugstore |
It was really a perfect day. And a perfect end to my time in the Midwest. Matt is on his was home from Afghanistan as I write this and we are moving (hopefully for the last time in the foreseeable future) to....Washington DC! I've been lucky enough to have spent this weekend here, seeing friends and finding a place to live and I'm in love. I couldn't be more excited to return to the east coast and live in this gorgeous city.
So (after 5 years here!) this is goodbye to the Midwest and so long to Sweet Heartland.
It's been lovely- thank you for following me on my adventures in the heartland.
love,
