Saturday at the Iowa Chops

It is so fun to have Jay and Briana here for the weekend! Jay had wanted to see the new Iowa Chops hockey team play at Wells Fargo Arena, so we made it to a game on Saturday night. It was a fun game. Chops won and it was very physical hockey.
We also got to the Des Moines Art Center to see American Gothic by Grant Wood, which is here from Chicago for a few weeks. It was a quick trip through the art center because we wanted to be outside to enjoy the spring thaw and temperatures in the fifties. Unfortunately that meant that the lawns and gardens were quite muddy so we headed to Qdoba for the very best burritos. It is a favorite stop for me and I was thrilled to find out that Briana understands the joy of Qdoba. Dale led us on a driving tour to see West Glen, Jordan Creek, downtown, East Village, Gray's Lake, Valley Junction and other fun places. We both love Des Moines and enjoy the chance to show others, especially the "kids." It's been a great weekend!
