Today the kids and I took an adventure downtown Iowa City. We decided to take the bus, something Rebecca hasn't done since she was old enough to remember. They were so excited waiting for the bus, and once we got on Rebecca didn't stop smiling!
Dad was able to meet us downtown, and off we went looking for a place to eat that we'd never been to before. We saw some friends and got a recommendation for Atlas. I've heard quite a few people talking about Atlas, so we decided to give it a try. The vote was unanimous-2 thumbs up! They brought the kids out apples & strawberries to munch on while we ordered and waited for our food. The kids all got meals that were big & yummy. Rebecca had the mac & cheese and it was so good-just like we'd heard.
After lunch and saying good bye to dad we walked over to the Old Capital Museum. We explored all the rooms learning about the different money used just is this area. I hadn't even seen or heard of a 3 dollar bill. We also walked quickly through the Museum of Natural History. Corrine's foot was starting to hurt from all the walking so we headed back to the library to get our bus passes to get home.
We stopped for some frozen yogurt to eat while waiting for our bus. It was a nice treat after so much exploring.
It was a fun day exploring in our own hometown. We need to do this more often and explore places we've never been before. I'd love to walk on all the bridges over the river, but with Corrine's foot and Simeon hip hurting I think that will need to wait until later.
