A quick trip through Iowa on our way to Chicago!

The Bridges of Madison County

Yep, this was Richele's pick. How did you guess?

Winterset, Iowa

This ended up being a really nice surprise town. It's the county seat for Madison County. A beautiful county building and cute town square. A fun little winery. It's John Wayne's birthplace (he never kept any connection with the town - but they love him), It's also George L Stout's birthplace (he was an art conservation specialist - one of the Monuments Men in WWII.)
