Meetup with Cryslyn & Andy!

We did it!  Cryslyn and I finally met!  A year ago I read a post about how she had travelled into Iowa for a Wissmann concert, so I emailed her mentioning that I'd like to meet up some time.  We exchanged phone numbers and chatted once, but didn't find any other concerts that would work for both of us to travel to.

Yours truly with Andy, Cryslyn, and her brother Noah.

Northside Cafe

Just as we were about to leave Winterset after enjoying the walking tacos, brownies, and ice cream at my friend's graduation open house, Papa pointed out Northside Cafe.  

Winterset City Park

We visited the Winterset City Park to see the Cutler-Donahoe covered bridge.  This bridge was built in 1870, and was originally located 18 miles northeast of Winterset.  It was moved to the park in 1970.  

Questions, Questions...(2)

Today I'd like to thank Carrie from Northwoods Scrapbook for nominating me for the Liebster award.  Below are my answers to her questions, as well as a few questions of my own for anyone who would like to participate.

Before I continue with my series of posts from my trip to the Winterset area, I would like to thank two very lovely ladies, Paige from Sunday Best and All the Rest and Carrie from Northwoods Scrapbook for nominating me for a couple fun blogging awards.  My responses to Paige's questions are below.  

Hastie Station, Outside Scoop, John Wayne Birthplace, & More

Last Saturday we drove down to Winterset for a friend's graduation open house.  Throughout the day of travel we visited various interesting locations.  This post will cover a few of our briefest stops.  In depth posts about some of the other places we visited will come later.
