After traveling through Sioux Falls, South Dakota—on my way to other destinations—I finally got to stop, stay, and explore this awesome little city in June of 2019. I was able to experience a lot of what this city has to offer in just one weekend!

After living across the street for nearly a year, Bailey and I finally took Maxwell the Golden Doodle to the OPPD Arboretum. It came at the perfect time, however, Maxwell was getting a little stir-crazy being indoors all the time. He had an absolute blast and so did Bailey and I.

June 1, 2018, the city of Omaha held a festival showcasing everything the city has to offer. The event had tents for vendors, tents for local businesses, rides, food, games, live music, performers, and more.

June of 2018 was my first official trip to Des Moines, Iowa. While there, I was able to gain some knowledge via the State Historical Museum of Iowa, get some amazing pictures while at Gray’s Lake and at the HyVee just across the street from the Des Moines Airport, and eat some pretty good food.
