Part 2 of Hermann Hill

There are just too many pictures to post from our trip. But here are a few more... They include parts of our walk when we explored Hermann & a view from our room. The goal is the one we chose - "Soul Mates" - we rang it once for every year we've been together. It was one of several gongs in the Forest of Gongs.

Our Trip - part 1

Our trip to Hermann, MO was wonderful. We took our time with everything we did. It felt good to have no set plans and just be. Our drive down was relaxing and uneventful. We reached Hermann around 2 pm. Since it was too early to check in at our BnB, we checked out Hermannhof winery. It was a fun place to start. Bought a couple bottle of wine to enjoy later. Actually one of my favorite wines I decided is the Hermannhof 2006 Vignoles. After we finished there, we checked out the Village Cottages, which is run by the same people who run the Inn we were staying at. We got some great shots overlooking the river. Nice views. The cottages would be nice to stay in if you were going to be there for a bit longer or if you went with a group. For our purposes, I am really glad we stayed at the Inn. By then it was time to go check into our place. WOW! Hermann Hill Inn and Vineyard is a beautiful place built into the bluffs. It has probably one of the best views I have ever seen from a place I have stayed. The rolling vineyards were gorgeous. Everything looked like a postcard - that is how unreal the whole scenery was - too wonderful for words! Our room was the Virginia Seedling Room. It was on the upper level looking over the vineyards toward the east. We had a king-sized bed, gas fireplace, a spa-like bathroom with a two-person jacuzzi tub with a view to die for, a shower with dual shower heads, and our own private balcony! Waiting in the room for us was a basket made up with a bottle of wine, two wineglasses, apples, cheese, summer sausage, and chocolates! What a beginning! I think by then I had taken about 100 pictures - LOL!

Two Weeks!

In two weeks Todd and I will be at the B & B in Hermann, MO. Can't wait to get a few days away to relax together. Hopefully let loose some of the stress for him from work and me from dealing with my health stuff..... Check this out - where we will be staying.... Hermann Hill ...looks like paradise to me!
