Amana Colonies!



The board's on the sides of the buildings had grape vines crawling up them.





He's giving me that "come on, I'm not waiting for you" look!

 Randy and I took a quick trip to Marshalltown, Iowa this past weekend for a graduation party. Kind of on the way, a little bit south of our route, we stopped at a place called the Amana Colonies. It is a very interesting and beautiful place. A gorgeous valley and wonderful shops where the people hand make everything. There are wine shops, jewelery, chocolate,furniture, a woolen shop and on and on. I hope you can see from the pictures what a beautiful little place this is and please look it up online because there are bed and breakfasts there to stay at and it is a really great place for a weekend getaway. We are definitely planning on going back so we can really check things out more thoroughly. Here is the website, enjoy...www.AmanaColonies.com
