Mid-West Adventure through IA, MN and NE – August 2023

Last month Gene got some unexpected time off (expiring vacation days) and we decided to do a Mid-West adventure through IA, MN, and NE. The first stop on our trip was in Des Moines, IA. Gene doesn’t remember being there, but I still say we were there together in like 2009 or 2010.

In the meantime, please enjoy the information on the states from Massachusetts-New Jersey. FYI, these are in alphabetical order.
