Iowa

After Chicago, we had a nice, short drive to Iowa (only 5 hours!), which was great. We were welcomed with open arms by Mike's aunt and uncle. Thanks Paula and Nasser!

Goodbye Chicago!

Didn't this used to be by our old apartment?

Beautiful library in Des Moines

They sure have some interesting statues here!

Yup.

So nice to eat in this restaurant! 

They have some wonderful cycling trails here.

Complete with ice cream socials on the side!!! I could hardly believe our luck. 

The BBQ queen

Facetime!

And off we go! Going to make it home in 2 days.
