Weston, MO

We finally decided to make a trip to visit The Red Barn Farm in Weston, MO over the weekend.  We left home late morning so we decided to have lunch first then visit the farm.  As soon as we stepped into the historic downtown area of Weston, MO.  It felt that we entered a different world.  Everything was so pretty and different.  Even the road signs looked nice (too bad that I didn't take picture).  We decided to have our lunch at Avalon Cafe which is one of the restaurants in Weston with great reviews.  Avalon Cafe was the White Lace house back in 19th century.  It was restored in 1994 and became Avalon Cafe.  The outside of the house is still white and full with flowers/plants around it.

Inside it has 4 dinning area and 1 outdoor patio dinning area.  Each dinning can sit about 8-15 people.  It was small but nice.

We ordered an Avalon Salad (greens with heart of palms, artichoke hearts, blue cheese, roasted almonds, strawberry, and cantaloupe) ,

Shrimp and Sausage pizza,

and Filet of Beef Tenderloin with roasted golden potato, sweet potato, purple cabbage, saute mushroom, snow peas, beans, and bourbon sauce.

We went down to the downtown street for a walk after the meal.  There's an old hotel called The Saint George Hotel which opened in 1845.

Don and I also visited the museum but didn't take any pictures.  Other than lots of antique shops, couple of hardware stores, and couple more bars, there weren't much in the downtown area.  We did find a little park with fountain, it was pretty and nice.  But a couple were picnic right next to the fountain so I couldn't take any pictures.

We finally decided to head to The Red Barn Farm.  It was just few minutes from downtown.  The view was great, it was pretty.  A big farm with a country store, a house, a hen den, some geese, some goats, horses, apple trees, strawberry field, etc.  Here are some pictures of my beautiful children in the farm.
