If you live in Iowa, chances are you’ve been to the Iowa State Fair. If you’re an Iowan who has never been, what are you waiting for? If you’ve never visited Iowa, put the State Fair near the top of your list when you do.
My first trip to Nashville was about ten years ago with a mixture of cousins and friends. Those girls know how to have FUN. We all love country music. We all love to dance. We all love to have a good time. Nashville was a pretty easy choice for a long girls’ weekend.
I’ve been to Glenwood Hot Springs twice—once for a girls’ getaway with two of my cousins and another time with my husband. Turns out, it works pretty well for both. There’s something pretty great about soaking in hot springs surrounded by the Colorado mountains, no matter who you’re traveling with.
Before this trip, I had never heard of Thomas Dambo or his giant trolls in Detroit Lakes, Minnesota. My cousin, Kim, came across them while researching things to see and do in the Midwest and thought they looked like something we needed to check out. Giant trolls hidden around Minnesota? Sure. Why not?
