Our first stop was the dam at lake Coralville. We watched the water rushing out the bottom in awe of its power. Then just up the road we stopped at the Devonian Fossil Gorge. We were able to spot a few fossils in the riverbed. And one frozen frog.
After that we headed to the Amana Colonies. There was a lot to check out in the quaint village. First we stopped at the winery. We sampled many of their fruity wines and took a self guided tour. The wine was so good we even bought a couple bottles. From there we walked to the toy store. It was fun to play with a bunch of them. After Mark, Lindsey, and the kids left he had to come back to pull Liz and I out.
At the gemstone store I bought an uncracked geode. And this one actually had some crystals in it. I've not been so lucky in the past.

Our last stop in the Amanas was the Millstream Brewery. Iowa's oldest microbrewery has some delectable libations. And it put smiles on all our faces.
