One of my favorite things to do is to drive on a beautiful day with the windows down and the music up! I got to do some of that today. I recently moved to Iowa so it was fun to see some areas that I had never been to before.
I found out one thing today. Northeast Iowa is BEAUTIFUL! Hills and trees everywhere. So gorgeous. It reminded me a lot of Tennessee or deep Southern Illinois. It definitely made me feel at home. I was driving on a two lane highway north of Cedar Rapids and I thought, I am never on two lane highways anymore. Kind of sad. This particular highway reminded me of 127 in Illinois. It always felt good to take exit 50 and know that I was going to be in Greenville in a half an hour.
Overall it was a very good day. Saw Dubuque, a massive umpire, the Worlds Largest Strawberry, a town named after me, the Field of Dreams, a bunch of Flags, heard a crappy local band play R.O.C.K. in the USA at a town festival, and 3 states in one day! FUN.
I am going to pile some pics below all of this. I still want to complete 3 items this weekend. 2 down 3 to go.

a water tower with my name on it. It's Iowa's version of the Space Needle.
A church I liked, honestly I can't remember the town.
and then there's this...practically the Statue of Liberty, & the World's Largest Strawberry
Grimey bar with my name on it. I took this while driving and getting staired at by a local lady!
This rock was randomly along the highway.
Field of Dreams - if you build it
3 states 1 day
