Summer '13 Roadtrip (pt 5)

On our last full day in Iowa we packed in a full day! Jill, Juliana and Emily joined us at our hotel that morning to swim for a while and then we cleaned up to head back to their house for lunch. We ate quickly and then drove over to go on the Boone Scenic Valley railroad! The kids had fun riding on the train and the adults enjoyed seeing some of the beautiful scenery through Iowa! If you're ever in that area, I highly recommend going on the hour or so tour! You hear a little history of the area and see some gorgeous sites! After the train ride, we had dinner at Pizza Ranch before we said our goodbyes and headed back to Illinois the next morning. We only got two full days in Iowa, but had fun visiting with cousins. Hopefully on our next trip we can spend a little more time in Iowa!
