Trip Planning Phase 5 - Move/Party in St. Louis

The next time we got together to work on the trip was the week of June 17-23, 2013.  Debbie and Bill came to St. Louis to help Fran move and to attend Geoff and Andrea's wedding reception/party.  On Friday, June 21 we all went to the Cardinal baseball game.


                On Saturday, June 22, we attended the reception/party at Helen Fitzgeralds.














In between all the moving, family time and partying, we managed to do some trip planning.  Driving distances were checked again and daily destination stops were agreed upon.  A stop near Graz, Slovenia at the Weutz Distillery was added.  Tom had seen a television program about this distillery and as it was on our route back to Vienna, it was agreed to add it to the tour.  This was the first chance Tom had to wow Debbie and Bill with the Croatian he had learned in his Croatian class.  We also went to Grbic's Restaurant for a sampling of Bosnian/Croatian cuisine.
