We landed in Des Moines after a full day of travel! It was freezing, but really pretty. Before driving to Iowa City, we made a few stops to check on some landmarks around the Capitol building.
The pretty skyline looking down from the Capitol.
We drove from spot to spot because the ground was pretty icy and we weren't dressed appropriately.

Then we stopped for dinner at this cool Iowa Taproom. We loved the industrial look inside and the food was pretty tasty.
I saw this spot on Yelp and just happened to park right next to it!
Swings instead of barstools
and really good cupcakes! Then we got back in the car for the 90 min drive to Iowa City...
