Iowa - Back to our roots!

 One of the places we stopped at in Iowa 
was the Iowa Veterans Cemetery near Van Meter
and we were surprised to see one of the Freedom Rocks. 

Please click on the link above to read the article
and watch the video which is well worth your time!

We have had the honor to see several Freedom Rocks throughout Iowa.
This one was very emotional because it reminded us of 
when Scott's mom would have been in that chair.

Thanks to all the men and women who have served 
or are serving our country!

 Since we are originally from Iowa 
we try to spend several weeks there to see family, 
friends, our favorite restaurants, 
and eat as much sweet corn as possible!

Anytime we are back in the Des Moines area we stop at 
Buzzed Bee Meadery in Melbourne, Iowa.
Wayne & Michelle participate in the Harvest Host program 
so we were able to spend the night. 
 A peaceful, relaxing place to unwind and reflect.
They do make great meads (honey wine) so check them
out when you are in the area. 

We love catching up with our friends and family! 

We camped in Wallachuck at Lake Redrock 
with our good friends. 
It is a very nice campground.
 They showed us all around Pella and Oskaloosa 
which is where they lived for many years. 

Jaarsma Bakery is a must stop!
Pick up some Dutch letters, cherry bites, 
cookies and cinnamon bread.

Amazing, irresistible Dutch treats!

Not as many pictures in this blog because we were in 
so many livings rooms and restaurants.
 
Thanks for showering us with so much love and 
continuing to build memories together!
