52. visit washington/california/michigan wine country
let's alter that slightly to include Missouri Wine Country.
Who knew they even had one.
And, what makes it better, you can bike through it!

Oh boy did we.

Despite both Chrisse and I being sick, most of our group did about 15 miles round trip, hit up 2 wineries and a brewery and saw the beautiful country side of Missouri changing colors.

it almost looks fake doesn't it!?

Judy packed us a delicious picnic lunch which we ate at our first stop while drinking a bottle of wine.

before i could get my first sip, i was smacked in the head by this umbrella

which was blown off a table on the deck above us.
it could have been much worse. a bruised bump on the head is all i ended up with.

we ended the night sitting by this camp fire at a brewery with a sampler of beer each and some very drunk people all around.
a perfect ending to a near perfect day!
