Photos That Show the Beauty of Iowa [GALLERY]
Iowa really is a beautiful place!
It s hard to believe, but this November I will celebrate my seven-year Iowa anniversary. These past few years have just flown by!
Whenever I go back home to Michigan, I m always hit with at least one joke about the state of Iowa. It usually has something to do with living in the middle of a cornfield, and that s when I have to explain that we actually
do have cities here. It doesn t really bother me at all, because it s never any of my friends or family members that have been here to visit me. Everybody that has been here has been pleasantly surprised by how much they enjoyed it. I ve taken them to the Downtown Farmers Market, Uptown Friday Nights, the Amana Colonies, the Ped Mall, the Maquoketa Caves, wineries, various concerts, and a whole bunch of amazing local restaurants.
