There’s nothing quite like the Iowa State Fair. From livestock and 4-H to rides, exhibits, entertainment, and more food on a stick than anyone probably needs, there’s a little bit of everything. My family spent many years coming to the fair while my kids were growing up, so these photos hold plenty of memories along with a whole lot of Iowa.

Myrtle Beach isn't really about checking things off a sightseeing list. It's about sandy feet, salty air, long days at the beach, fishing off the pier, boardwalk wandering, mini golf, amusement park rides, parasailing, and ordering milkshakes that make you question whether you ordered dessert or accepted a challenge.
