Friday afternoon we finally got on the road for my annual mother-daughter weekend. The plan was to leave around 3:00P but with having to take Lil Miss C to the dr's we didn't leave until about 5:30P. So we picked up CJ on the way instead of her driving down by herself. B didn't join us this year as she had to help B get ready to go out of town for work. Friday was a long day in the car for me, we finally arrived at the hotel at 11:17PM. Littlest C went with us so that Mr. C could get a few more things done around the house in preparation for the C Country Craze next weekend. Saturday morning we got up and ate breakfast and were ready to leave a little before 10A to start on adventure for the day.
We headed to the Precious Moments Chapel. This is outside the chapel.
Littlest C in the gift shop and chapel entrance.
After we got through there we headed to find some lunch. One of our traditions is to only eat at local restaurants.
We found Granny Shafers restaurant and enjoyed some good home cooking.
After lunch we drove around Joplin looking at what remains from the 2011 tornado damage and then we found a winery B&B for some wine tasting.
I was a little creep-ed out at this place. For some reason they were just giving me a weird vibe... the wines were okay and then we moved on to our next stop, the Farm Girl Fest.
We saw a sign for this festival when we were driving into the winery so we decided to check it out. There we getting close to quitting time for the day so we browsed quickly. Lots of neat photo opps at this place so i took lots of pics.
A neat craft project to use old propane bottles.
Hooker was the name of the sheriff.
Cheep childcare....:) Sent this to Mr. C and his response was: She hasn't been that bad has she.
A beautiful afternoon spent exploring this festival.
Next we drove by the town square and stopped in a few of the antique stores that were still open.
We finished the evening with drinks and a light dinner of cheese and sausage at the hotel. Littlest C enjoyed some play time before bedtime.
This morning we got up and ready and decided we would grab breakfast at a restaurant since we were not impressed with the hotel breakfast on Saturday. We saw this place yesterday so decided we would check it out.
Then we got on the road headed for home. We stopped at the lake for a quick 30 minute stretch the legs stretch at the outlet mall. Dropped CJ off, had a short visit there and then got back on the road so that i could get home in time for the H Family Pictures.
I am so thankful that my Littlest C was such a trooper for the weekend. She traveled great and bared with us at all of our stops and being in her car seat.
