Took our last road trip of the summer (and likely our last trip before the baby arrives) to Iowa City. We had a pretty relaxing time (or as relaxing of a time as one can have with a toddler) visiting family and friends, going to some of our favorite places in Iowa City, and enjoying the quiet countryside. Oliver especially loved watching the Amish horse and buggies go by. It was great to see everyone and thanks especially to Bruce and Jenny!

On the way home we stopped in Mason City, IA to get some coffee and stretch our legs and happened upon an awesome city park and train. The combination of inexpensive coffee, beautiful park with amazing play equipment, and a train that you can get in, we'll definitely be stopping here on future road trips!
