Des Moines, heart of Iowa

Last October, as one of his school requirements for Manual Therapy, Topher has to be on the school campus for his practicals. We started the trip early (2am) going to Des Moines. It's a 5-hr road trip from Chicago and they start 8am that Friday morning. I got myself busy at malls while he's at school. :) sweet. We were able to try local restaurants, like Jethro's (awesome BBQ and ribs, excellent sides! mac and cheese is ♥ ).

Before heading back to Chicago on Sunday, we visited the State Capitol and the Food Festival at East Village. Des Moines is pretty neat! I'm excited to be back again on May 2011 for his commencement.
