TSRI Travels

Mozzarella sticks at @parlorcitypub are the best I have ever had. Mozzarella in handmade batter.... swoon. We ordered root beers and 5 appetizers, I mean... why not?

What a sight. 🥰 Flying into Cedar Rapids at sunset. All the green grass makes my heart go pitter-patter.

Oh ice cream, oh how we love thee. Let me count the ways.... we can always count on cherry-dipped cones on the hottest days of summer.

Among the wild flowers.

We went to enjoy the wild flowers and found all kinds of fun activities.

Lily Lake is truly breathtaking. Granted we got there late to capture all of the blooms, maybe next year. It is in Amana Colonies.

One of our favorite stops every summer.

We ate all the things. While Chad and I are on a burger hunt, Munchkin is Mac & Cheesing her way through all the restaurants. We ate all the things.

We each found 2 life changing sunflowers (my favorite). And now off to find a vase! First stop Goodwill. That way we don't have to feel so bad leaving it behind.

Sunflower experience is one of my favorite things to do in Eastern Iowa during our summer trip. This is our 2nd year going. Acres and acres of gorgeous sunflowers the size of your head. And bees. Lot's and lots of bees.

So many pizzas... Just not enough room. Luckily our hotel has a fridge. We ate all the things at Zoey's. The cheese bread is to die for. The pizzas are all delicious but the NewZago crust is my favorite. Luckily we saved a little room for the Zookie. Hallelujah!

Ma'am would you like some bread with your cheese??? Zoey's garlic cheese bread is epic! I mean it should have prime placement on their menu, so be sure to look for it in the on the side section. You don't want to miss this one.

Me and my McDreamy at Field of Dreams. It's so fun to visit the movie site and watch all of kids playing on the field/. I do wish we had taken the house tour. We will be sure to catch that on the next trip.

I think Iowa ice cream is the number one thing that we all agree on. Nearly every day. And stretch pants by the end of the trip.

And then we ate all the things. One of my favorite parts about traveling is we all order something different and then we get to taste it all! Corn nuggets and Jacked Mac Burger were my favorites!! We'll be back. Thanks Blind Pig.

What in the name of all things corny is this magic??? Corn nuggets? I never knew such a thing existed. Can you image I could have lived my whole life without these bites of sunshine. Thank you Iowa!!!
