Yesterday in the mail I received a hand-written letter, which might be one of the greatest treats ever. I LOVE getting personal mail, especially when it's a total surprise. And today I knew my mail surprise was going to be especially amazing because it came from my Aunt Cheryl, an awesome Iowan.
Cheryl lives in Eagle Grove, a town that was named for a tree with a bunch of eagles living in it that was later cut down or something like that. She and her husband live on an acreage near a cemetery (creepy!) and raise chickens. They also host an annual massive family reunion, called Weberpalooza, which everyone that reads this blog is invited to.
So why is Cheryl getting a special shout out today? Because her mail was none other than a list of 99 Things You Gotta Do In Iowa This Year!!! Highlights include the world's largest strawberry, a hobo museum, the most crooked street in the world, and a mule cemetery. This is valuable information that I will most definitely be using in my adventures around Iowa. Which means that I will then be sharing this information with all of you! Get ready for it.
Thank you Aunt Cheryl for being so thoughtful and sending me this amazing list! I am super super excited to visit some of these unknown state gems. And congratulations on being today's Awesome Iowan! It is most definitely deserved.
