Road Trip

Yesterday my husband and I escaped from the farm and from Iowa for a day.  Our destination was in Wisconsin and we had to travel a couple hours to get there.  For awhile my husband took his turn as passenger and photographer.  He took this shot as we were driving through Clermont, Iowa:

It was a cloudy, rainy day---something we’ve been wishing for, but it didn’t provide the best lighting for photos.  We drove on and eventually through the river town of McGregor, Iowa:

We soon reached the Mississippi River bridge at Marquette, Iowa:

  After eating lunch in Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin, we crossed over the Wisconsin River…

More to come.  Stay tuned!

so beautiful! I've never been to the middle of our sweet country and it looks like I'm missing a lot of gorgeous scenery.
