I have enjoyed riverboats in several cities but this weeknd was the first time I got on one in STL…read moreeven though I have lived here more than a decade. A friend and I bought tickets to celebrate 314 day (area code for the city aka March 14), we really enjoyed the trip. Buying tickets online was simple and there are a range of packages with the arch and more. We did the simple boat tickets only and were on the noon cruise. The captain occasionally pointed out information about the bridges and construction and various things. It was a nice hour or so and we got some great photos.

We came for the floating sleigh on a Thursday night and we were the one of only two parties that…read morecame. I don't feel like we should've paid the $10 entry per person, but I understand they probably needed it for gas, which is completely understandable. The drink list was pretty large. I think they had a lot of options for the pop-up bar. They even had a shot list and they all had great names. The concession menu was just like movie theater food but still great options. They had a cute little bottle downstairs. The upstairs is a lot smaller. I think it would've been cuter if they decorated the outside of the boat so you could sit outside with twinkly lights perfect for photos. The staff was very friendly and took pictures for us!

Kayaking was interesting. An hour should be the max but this is a 2 hour kayak underground caves…read more The caves are beautiful. This is an old sandstone mine. Cash only and 10% for active military. No place to go potty besides at a portapotty. Make sure to bring snacks in case get hungry. The tour guide is a lit up tour guide as the guide has lights on his kayak. If you like underground adventures or water activites this is for you!

Great start to our weekend in Ste. Gen! We opted to do the ghost tour/pub crawl the Friday (only on…read more4th Fridays) we got into town. Brian the tour guide was such a wealth of historical knowledge of the town. Listening to his stories as we strolled through the streets was incredibly interesting, we came away from the tour having more things we wanted to discover than we had time for. Even if ghosts aren't your thing I would suggest the tour for the information!

We've been on quite a few ghost tours, and this one was really good! Our guide, Tom, was friendly…read moreand knowledgeable about the town. It was a nicely paced walking tour (we weren't running from place to place) and included a lot interesting stops. Tom had a lot of great stories and suggestions about places to go. We ended up going to a bar mentioned on the tour afterwards and a restaurant the next after hearing his stories (no ghosts spotted, but both places were fun, lol). Fun way to see Ste.

I can't begin to explain what a great spot this is!…read more It is dog friendly, it is wide open and beautiful, it has lots of live music, it is run by a family that is so very nice, and it is super affordable and tastes great! You can get a flight of wines for $5 or a glass of wine or a pint of beer for $5 each. You can even do a tour and tasting for $10. Plus, all the bottles are pretty much under $25. And they have quite a large variety of whites, reds, and roses too. Cindy, one of the owners, is so very friendly and helpful. She will go through an entire tasting with you with the highest level of patience, allowing you to taste and try anything you'd like to. Her brother-in-law also Is a gem, he himself Popsicles to all of the kids running around and let them ride on the tractor or explore into the garden. Would highly recommend if you are in the area!

Arthur was the live music for the day and he played a great variety of songs (acoustic guitar). The wine is fantastic. I do not know a lot about wine, but I do know that each one we tasted (6) was very easy to drink. We shared a bottle there and I brought 2 home. Bonus: you can bring your own snacks (no beverages). I love this. I enjoy planning my own winery snacks. I was bummed when many wineries quit allowing food because they opened kitchens. So if I have to pay $30+ for food. I'm buying less wine. Anywaaaay, make a little weekend out of visiting this area and have a lovely time at Edg Clif. (Photos do not do it justice)
