Our family trips and tours of various locations in Iowa.
My family moved to West Des Moines, Iowa from the Peoria, Illinois area back in 2001. Many of the local attractions were places that even my wife and I had never visited. Each summer, typically on my son's birthday in June, we take a family trip to a local spot. Many times its something right within Des Moines, other times we travel to other locations within Iowa.
Many of the tours are relatively simple, such as:
* Visit the top of 801 Grand Ave to check out the view from the tallest building in Des Moines.
* Walk the Des Moines downtown sky walk system to explore the routes, shopping, and food.
* Tour the Iowa State Capital
Some of the places we'd like to visit next: Tone's Spice Factory in Ankeny, Barilla in Ames, the fossil collecting park in Rockwell.
Here's a quick recap of some of the places we've visited...
