Land of Corn and Soybeans
In and around North America
The Land of Corn and Soybeans is my nickname for Iowa. David, Kristen, and I took a trip last summer to Iowa to visit Liesl and co, so I'm gonna try and put all the stops we made along the way in here. Which really means all the stops for gas in the first part at least. We mostly stayed in the same small area, but we did make many trips back and forth to do different things(one of the reasons why I love Liesl so much, even though she was working almost everyday, she still made plans for us to go out). So hopefully this won't be too boring for anyone reading, and maybe I can get some pictures up, because it really is beautiful for not having much of anything out there but farmland.
