Hi! Hope you all had a terrific 4th of July holiday weekend! I had so much fun…My husband & I did a day trip on the 4th where we took a long drive down a scenic highway along the Mississippi river and stopped along the way wherever we felt like. We went with his brother & his wife. It was a rare treat to be able to spend the entire day with them.

We saw lots of pretty small Minnesota towns & some historic spots & places where the river was still very flooded from the awful storms our state has had last month. Ate at great places & one of my favorite parts was where we discovered the fantastic Elmaro Vineyard in Trempealeau, Wi as we were driving home on the Wisconsin side of the river. We did a wine tasting outdoors in view of their gorgeous vineyard. So much fun, yet so relaxing! We brought back 3 bottles of delicious wine to enjoy later. Here’s a couple photos of the Elmaro vineyard…
