FORT LEONARD WOOD

Last Thursday, Ed and I joined the Providence Bank travel group for a tour of Fort Leonard Wood. The weather was ideal. Our first stop was for wine tasting and an informative tour of St. James Winery. Lunch was at the lovely Sybill's Restaurant & Gift Shop in St. James. A step-on military person boarded our motorcoach for a drive-through tour of the base. The above picture was taken at the large new Museum on the base. Ed really enjoyed seeing how much things have changed in the 50+ years since he was stationed there for his six months' active duty. On our way home, we made one final stop at a craft shop in Vienna. As we boarded our motorcoach for the rest of the drive, we were served sandwiches, chips and beverages. This was our first time to travel with this group and it was most enjoyable. Also, no one will go hungry while traveling with Providence Bank!

That sounds like a very nice day trip. I'm sure there were many changes in Ft. LW in 50 years.

My hubby also started at Ft LW before his tour in Vietnam. Glad you enjoyed your day trip. Sounds fun.
