I’ll be living at the University of Iowa in the fall, and the drive to Iowa City from my little town in Colorado takes about 17 hours. To pass the time, we decided to look up roadside attractions. Turns out, there are a LOT of them. This, my friends, is the trek to Iowa City!
After much merriment, we journeyed onward, as Iowa City waits for no man! After driving for another 537 hours (or maybe just five), we spied something intriguing. Disguised as an overpass was a museum! Our curiosity forced us off of the highway for another stop, this time at the Great Platte River Road Archway!
The next stop was just… just brilliant. We actually went out of our way to visit it, because… well, because it’s hilarious. I give you… CARHENGE!
After a trip to the Kool-Aid museum:
And the Danish Heritage Museum:
We FINALLY found ourselves in Iowa.
The moral of the story, ladies and gentlemen, is that even something really boring can be fun if you make it so… or if there are ridiculous roadside attractions nearby.
Thanks Reina!!
Oh and by the way…as impossible as it may sound…not all of Nebraska looks the same. We do have more than just farms around here. 🙂
