We spent our Spring Break in Iowa! What!? You said I live in Iowa? Yes, I know but we've been here almost 5 years and hadn't seen much of any of it's tourist spots or local flair. (yes, it has a little of that)
The weather was awesome the majority of the week so we spent everyday outside enjoying the no jacket required, warm weather. The trampoline got it's spring back and if it could talk it would have complained about some serious aches and pains. The middle of the week I took the boys to the National Mississippi River Museum and Aquarium. Great Fun! The fish tanks were probably Brenden's favorite, the water erosion demonstration was Jackson's and Gavin got to pet a Sturgeon and a live crayfish tail. We took our neighbor friend with us so I didn't have to be the only girl on the trip! We ate at the refurbished train depot and stopped at McDonald's play place on the way back to burn off some extra energy from the ice cream and shakes!
Our next outing was to Des Moines for the whole clan, Daddy too! We explained that we were going to return them all (the kids) to their native homeland just like on Madagascar II but Jackson and Gavin didn't buy it. Brenden would have stayed all day playing with the sheep and goats! We also check out the Science Museum and need to go back to enjoy more of the place. We saw an IMAX film about the creatures of the ocean and built and shot a rocket ship, built a dam, raced a car, kept a ball in the air, and dropped a fake egg without cracking it! Ken and Gavin scored great on that one!
Although there were no sandy beaches, sunburn cheeks, or hanging out with cousins, overall, I would say Iowa is a great Spring Break destination!
