So we celebrated Ro's birthday in style- Iowa City! It was actually sad as we saw alot of the flood damage- so many businesses and homes trying to be restored. Tons of destruction...

We hit a great noodle shop in the downtown area which was virtually untouched. Then, surprise surprise, ice cream for the official birthday... will this birthday ever end? It's like a super long birthday week!

A shout out to my IC3 gang! Thanks for the crown.

And Ro had a great time playing in the fountain.

We finally pulled off I-80 and settled down at the Settled Inn- where else could you sleep in a castle, ride a horse with a knight in the front yard, walk across the road to a casino (although they do provide a free shuttle) and go next door to the casino for a kiddie amusement park! Iowa is the capital of good times!
