The Iowa Sticker

2016 Out West, Iowa, Road Trip


Our rules regarding the map on the side of the T@B say that we must do something interesting and also spend at least one night in a state before we can add the state sticker to our map. Last summer we drove through a portion of Iowa on our way from Minnesota to Illinois but didn’t stop so the Iowa space stayed empty. Now though we’ve visited a couple sites in Winterset and spent a night at Winterset City Park so we can fill in that space. Iowa is the 43rd state we two have visited in our T@B since late July 2013. Five more to go to fill in all of the contiguous 48!

OUR VERY

LATEST

National Portrait Gallery

National Portrait Gallery

It was a most educational visit to the newly renovated National Portrait Gallery at Trafalgar Square in Central London. We were intrigued with the contemporary approach to presenting British History.

Bletchley Park

Bletchley Park

It was at Bletchley Park that the Allied Codebreakers deciphered German military messages during the Second World War. A free guided tour gave us a good overview of the campus and the activities that occurred here from 1938 to 1945.

Fenton House and Spaniards Inn

Fenton House and Spaniards Inn

A lovely way to spend a Sunday in Hampstead. We visited the historic Fenton House to view lots of lovely collectibles, to listen to and learn about harpsicords, and to tour and linger in the garden before heading off to the historic Spaniard’s Inn for a most delectable Sunday Roast.
