Yesterday, my daughters had a wild idea for a day away, and after lodging an initial protest, I went along with them!
Can you guess where? Here's a hint:

Today, before my older daughter headed back home to Ankeny, she wanted to see some of the storm damage, so we took a drive.
Below is the condition of the woods along the Wapsipinicon River near the C-57 bridge in northeast Black Hawk County, Iowa. It appears Paul Bunyan came through, clipping shrubbery, and left a terrible mess.

My daughter noticed this scene below along one of the gravel roads near where the tornado went through (You can breathe.......its just a doll's head.):
We saw the macabre sight near the spot shown below. We've had so much rain the past few days that many fields are flooded again in the low areas, as you can see in the photo.

My sister who lives out of the area is coming here this afternoon in order to see the damage to our old neighborhood, so I'll be touring around again in a little while. Its very warm and humid here today; hopefully, no storms are developing.

Remember........take a guess at the whereabouts of yesterday's day away!! Its about 3-1/2 hours from here.

All I could come up with as an answer to your question was Baraboo, Wisconsin, but I'll bet that's wildly wrong.
That sure is a pretty carousel though.
And the doll's head was creepy. It must have given you a start.
Well, how disturbing is this????
what about the carnival horses, though?
You went to the .... CIRCUS???
The only carousels I'm familiar with are at Story City, and Coralville. But I wouldn't think you're 3 1/2 hours from either one of them. So I'm stumped!
oh my...what destructive forces at play! That doll's head is beyond macabre! Yikes....
Sorry...cannot ever possibly guess where that carousel is but it looks like a lovely place to spend some time...I love carousels....did you go?
That was a shocking picture.
As you are aware, we don't even know where Iowa is, but here's my guess: there is a carousel at the ball park where the Detroit Tigers play. So maybe you're in Detroit (and just made really, really good driving time!)
