Spring Break 2011

Ben didn't get much of a Spring Break this year. He had school stuff to do almost every day, but we did get to see him more than usual so we were happy. We even got him to take a day trip with us! Cole had an appointment with Dr. Hong, his rheumatologist, so we headed to Iowa City. Not my first choice for a getaway, but we made it fun anyway.

We saw the Iowa State University stadium...
...and the U of I Museum of Natural History

You may have noticed there isn't much to Iowa City besides the university. We certainly noticed. Luckily Cole and Elise liked the museum a lot more than I thought they would.
We also got to see the Morman Handcart Memorial (which was only a plaque and a walking path, also on the university grounds), the Amana Colonies, and the Tanger Outlets on our way home.

Cole and I also got to have a date to the movies. We saw the movie "Gnomeo and Juliet". It was a fun date, mostly due to the popcorn. Cole couldn't sit through the whole movie, but he had no trouble finishing off the tub of popcorn :)

Like I said, it wasn't a very exciting Spring Break as far as Spring Breaks go...but it was very exciting for us to have Ben around every single day!!
