Amana Iowa

OK, I know I really should get back to my Iowa trip. Especially since the good part where we went to see the Amish are coming up. Ill try to do as much if not all now. So on Monday, Day 3 of the trip we had it to ourselves. Although it was 100% chance of rain it was the only day we could go to Amana. So we pushed on and drive over an hour to get there. It only poured on the way home and of course there. And no we didn't have umbrellas. Oops! Needless to say we bought some. We found some kid ones that I took home for the kids. We went to a few of our favorite shops and the first one the nice man gave us a 10% coupon ( written on a post it of course! ) to go eat at the local restaurant. We also visited a few of our favorite shops that unfortunately will be closing in a few days. Glad we got to get in before it did.

Local Weather.

I asked Siri to give us directions. She took us the back way in. 

Which was down a dirt road. We thought we were lost but at least we got to see some cool barns. 

First stop was this little in door out door shop. Tons of cute garden decor. 

If I lived there Id buy tons for our yard! This is where we got our coupon. 

Post it!

The food was good and got us out of the rain. 

Then off to the woolen mill.

The inside.

Everything was pretty dead since it was pouring the entire time.

Mom even used our cool kid umbrellas. 

The Kitchen sink. Really this huge store ( had a big basement to ) that we go to every time was closing.  

Right outside the store.

Couldn't get enough of the tress!

And the leaves! Oh my! 

I can only imagine these branches covered in ice!
