Visiting Iowa

A little visit with Justin's good friend at the Iowa state Fair. The Iowa State Fair is the annual State fair that began in 1854. The fair grounds are considered a historic preservation center. It is based in the state capital Des Moines, Iowa over 11 days in August. With over a million visitors it is one of the largest and best known state fairs in the United States. We stayed 10 hours and walked 19,000 steps! It was the biggest fair we have ever been to. Checking it off our list as there is really nothing else in Iowa we had an interest in seeing. We are glad we went to experience such a mega-fair! & it's true - all the food is on a stick. Everything was absolutely delicious! 
We had to stop at the world's largest truck stop.
The view from our hotel!
Cool neon bowling
Fair grounds and rides!
Too tired to last all day
Some serious prizes
