As we celebrate Memorial Day weekend, I think of our veterans all through the year and thank them for our freedom and the privileges that are so easily taken for granted. Their sacrifices are untold and their rewards should be uncounted. There are so many things to see and so many things to do within our state that I have attached a link from Travel Iowa that provides you with a list of all of the possibilities. This would be a good opportunity for the family to get out and have some history lessons and have a lot of fun. This link will allow you to sort by region for various activities. Have a fun and safe weekend!

If you’re in the Des Moines area and choose to stick close to home, please don’t forget Camp Dodge.
