Here is a look at the second half of our Iowa trip :)

Saturday had arrived and it was hot...I am talking hot hot hot. But we made the mot of it and still did outdoor adventures. First up was the ice cave, which was super awesome to go in. And in order to get to it we had to walk down this long country road. It was heaven to me, kinda reminded me of some of the ones I saw in Tennessee. After the cave we explored some of the shops in down town Decorah. I ended up finding some records for really cheap (The Carpenters, Johnny Cash and the Beach Boys Christmas). That made me very happy :) Then it was time for ice cream at Whippy Dipp..or my version Wiffy Dipple.

Once we finally got back to Carolines campus all we wanted to do was relax!! Buuuuut we couldn't we had to leave in a few hours and we didn't want to get behind scedule. So we got the tour from Caroline and then wondered around the beautiful leafy streets...where we found more leaves :p That's always a good time!

Heading home was much easier than heading there. We only got lost once, in this wicked place called Neshcoro. Seriously looked straight out of a horror film. It made us sick and scared and soooo thankful to finally get home!!! But looking back now I laugh a little...but never want to go back to Neshcoro again.

Well, well, well I am back in Wisconsin. But man did it feel good to just get away, even if it was only a 2 day trip. Sometimes that's all you need to relax and gather new inspiration. As you probably read we went to Iowa to visit Caroline and came across many interesting things on the way.

We started out and when we hit Wautoma (still in WI) we came across the coolest rock ever!!! Seriously awesome...so of course Tav and I pull over. How couldn't we climb that beast? It was so nice feeling at one with the world, so simple. Even for me and I'm afraid of heights haha. When we finally climbed back down we were taking a picture and this older man comes up to us and offers to take our picture and we're like "yes, thank you"!! And then he looks at me and says "when we were driving we saw you running to the rock and thought you were in a lion costume." I just kinda looked at him...let me tell you we were laughing at that the whole trip. Nice to know I look like I am in a lion costume :p After that we kept trecking and hit Minnesota...we were only suposed to be there about 10 min. But one wrong turn and we were there for an extra 45. Yes it totally sucked being all turned around, but honestly I'm kinda glad we took that wrong turn. We got to explore Minnesota a bit and it is BEAUTIFUL!!! Hills and trees everywhere, seriously amazing. Oh yea did I mention...we didn't have a GPS. Finally we hit Iowa!!! After all of the wrong turns and mix ups we made it! And were able to find Carolines college pretty easy :)

This was in Omro...it smelled sooooo bad

The giant awesome rock

Is that a lion???...nope just me in a yellow skirt and blonde mane

Bingoooo

Once we were there and found Caroline we got a super yummy boca burger meal. And then Caroline had to go to her taiquando class so Tav and I did some exploring around the campus. It really is a pretty campus...but sooo many hills and stairs lol. After about a half and hour we got bored so we played in a leaf pile. Such cool 21 year olds we are lol. But it felt good to just relax and chill and take fun leaf pile pictures!

Wouldn't you just love us to show up at your campus :p

When Caroline was done we all got changed and ready to go out for a night on the town. Well...Iowa style :p The weather was perfect!! We ate at this really yummy place named "T-Bocks" They had amazing veggie sandwiches. After that we were going to go to this place called "Roscoes" but we walked in and turned right around. lame. So we ended up just walking around the town which was actually really nice. I love walks at night with good friends and new sights to see :)
