Wisconsin Bound -- Day 1 and 2 -- MacBride State Park (Iowa City IA)

Vacation time! Took our very first "official" road trip with new camper ... easy peasy? white knuckle time? We would soon find out.

First nights goal was West Branch, Iowa -- site of the Herbert Hoover Presidential Library. We had visited site several years ago, but arriving one hour before closing didn't give us much time to "visit". Pulled into the Lake MacBride State Park, found our spot and set up "camp".

While there was no "lakeside" camp site we did get to see the lake. Everything was so green and lush (lake is in the back ground).

We ran a few errands before doing the library tour. Stopped at a McDonald's for refreshments ... imagine our surprise when we spotted these treasures from our past!



Because he attended a K-8 one room ... Larry needed to take this picture at the historical park near the Presidential Library.

The library was great. Herbert Hoover was a great humanitarian. Viewed two videos covering his life and presidency ... very, very informative. Artifacts in library were an additional perk.
