Our family enjoyed a trip to Des Moines recently and we loved our time together.
Our goal was to reminisce and do some activities we enjoyed when we used to live there as well as try a few new things.
We started out with a trip to the zoo. The kids love zoos and so do we!
The Blank Park Zoo is one of the best because it's small but has great animals to see.
After a quick supper we drove through our old neighborhood, saw our old house, and spent some time with some previous neighbors of ours. It was just like old times and we loved catching up over some of our favorite ice cream at Snookies.
We hopped into bed after a quick swim and started planning our next day!
After a great breakfast, we went to Living History Farms. It was hot, windy, and dirty, but we had a great time walking around the farms and learning about early medicine.
The hotel pool was calling our names so we went back to the hotel for a rest and swim before heading out for dinner to celebrate our anniversary.
We enjoyed dinner and some play time in the evening followed by a little driving tour around some of of our favorite places in Des Moines.
Sunday morning we enjoyed mass at St. Theresa's Parish where Marie was baptized and then headed back home.
This was a great trip and we will forever love our time in Des Moines. However, we are so thankful we are living in a smaller community with our kids.
