If you haven't figured it out yet St. Charles County, MO and St. Louis City/County, MO offers more than just the St. Louis Cardinals, St. Louis Rams and St. Louis Blues. There are loads of parks, walking trails, bike trails, casinos and history too. And there are other things to do too. I have written about, Bed & Breakfast, which offer an alternative to the more traditional hotel/motel. Then I wrote about visiting Missouri wineries that are close to home. Then I wrote about fun things to do with children while on a stay-ca here, or on a vaca, in the greater St. Louis and St. Charles Missouri area.

If you are new to the area or maybe you are a home body like me and just don't get out, you may not know of places around the Greater St. Charles, MO area. There is a wealth of things to do right here, as we have found out over the last three weeks, and they won't cost a boatload of money either! In this series I hope to show what one could do within a short drive from home. Not only for the adults but also things the kids will be able to do and enjoy.

So, there is only one thing that I have not talked about in this series and that would be places to enjoy a meal. No I'm not talking about the normal fast food fare, even though they are not bad. I am talking about places you may not have tried or you are looking for something new. Believe me when I say that this is a very, very, very short list of places to enjoy.

So here is my very short list of eateries in the greater St. Charles County, MO., some of which I frequent and enjoy:

With gas prices constantly moving up and down, mostly UP! Not to mention other prices doing the same, it is hard for some to even consider taking a get-a-way vacation.

If you are new to the area or maybe you are a home body like me and just don't get out, you may not know of placesMissouri Wineries around the Greater St. Charles, MO area.

So this week I want to take a look at wineries throughout the state. So let's start with just a brief history lesson on wineries in Missouri just to whet your palate. "The Country's First Wine Country" is far more than just a tagline. Over 150 years ago, European settlers were making great wine here in Missouri and today there are more than 100 wineries in our state.

Here is a very short list of wineries, some of which I frequent and enjoy the view offered while sipping on a nice glass of wine. The wineries that I have listed below are just a short drive from St. Charles. One could call it taking a day trip.
