Summer U.S. Trip 2014 - Part 4

The last destination on our U.S. itinerary was a visit to my family in Iowa.  My family was in good form - doing well and in a good mood.

FABJ was signed up for a week of pony camp again, but we didn't sign ORBJ up for anything (a mistake in hindsight).  Still, we had a couple of enjoyable activities - a morning at a splash pad and a snowflake making activity at the library (a somewhat odd choice in July).

One of the most enjoyable trips was to the Iowa Children's Museum.  It was about a 45 minute drive away, and it had a ton of fun stuff for the girls.  In fact, we basically ran out of time.  We will definitely visit again, if only to visit the "Blue Room."  It was a room full of giant blue blocks.

Another fun part of the trip was a dinner out with LBJ, as my sister and brother in law took the girls for a sleepover.  So we went to a local Cuban restaurant, which was extremely tasty (and modestly priced).  We hope to go there again!

I look forward to the next visit home to see the family.
