Let's Go Places: Springfield, Illinois and Des Moines, Iowa feat. Art and FLW

 


Friends, it's road trip time again!  I packed a lot into one week, so we're going to do this "post card" style.

The mission: visit the state capitals/capitols of Illinois and Iowa, go on an Iowa FLW bender, and most importantly, meet an epic blogger.  The result: all of that plus a surprise encounter with a work of art.

Weekly Round Up: Visitors

 

A weekly round up: eats, workouts, watches, reads, and other odds and ends.  This week Doggo and I hosted visitors, two of whom were invited and one of whom was not, and we laid low to beat the heat.  We've been leaning into early morning and late evening dog walks, with a few outdoor breaks in the yard throughout the day.

A weekly round up: eats, workouts, watches, and reads.  This was a domestic week, spent hanging out at home.  I did a little experimenting in the kitchen and my roommate and I kept up with the chores.

Let's Go Places: Red River Gorge, Kentucky feat. Serpent Mound, Shrum Mound, and a Capitol

Friends, who wants to come along for a long weekend adventure with me??????  The primary activity will be staring at rocks.

Well, now that pretty much everyone except you has said "no thanks", let's pack up the car and get wheels up.  We're going to a place called Red River Gorge in Kentucky.  It's about a five hour drive so we have time to make a few stops along the way.
