Jason and I decided to explore a little on Saturday. First we headed to the City Market downtown. People from all over Missouri, and probably some parts of Kansas, came to sell their wares, even some Zimmermans from Versailles! There were booths of fresh veggies and fruits of all shapes and varieties, including a weird-looking thing called a
bitter melon, plus meat, baked goods and beautiful bouquets of flowers.
We stopped in at the
Wine Cellar for a "trip to Romania," according to the gentleman pouring the wine. And we were adventurous; we came away with two bottles, late harvest wines from Dreamer.
There was supposed to be a corn festival in the market, but we didn't see too much of a theme. We did enjoy the music that we came across. There were a couple of groups playing country music in the open area and on the street. We saw a lady playing the harp in the corner of a restaurant and a man was playing the drums on the backside of the market.
After our market adventure, we stopped by a trail and park that's just off the interstate in Independence. Jason had packed the picnic backpack, and he carried it along the trail to our picnic spot. After lunch we walked the trail for a mile or two. We saw lots of pretty wildflowers along the trail and something resembling a river otter was tromping around down on the riverbank. We decided to get some ice cream cupcakes at Cold Stone Creamery before we headed home.
