What a Weekend!

This past weekend I was invited to Pella, Iowa from the team at Visit Pella.

Pella, IA is East, and just a touch South, of Des Moines, IA. It's home to the largest working grain windmill in the country, which you can tour!

Dutch culture is very strong as many of the early residents of Pella were from The Netherlands. While I was sharing my walk-through town on Instagram stories (now on my highlight reel) I received so many messages from my friends in Europe thinking I was there, too! They said the large trucks gave it away that I was still in America. ;)

What surprised me the most on my trip to Pella was how much of a foodie destination this can be! We had excellent meals and pastries originating from Europe as well as some American classics. There was not a bad meal here to be found! (And we ate enough to be able to tell if there was...)

The desserts over at Vander Ploeg Bakery were scrumptious. Don't forget to get a Dutch Letter when you visit! It's a puff pastry with an almond paste.

We had coffee over at Iris Coffee - a scientific take on coffee! Pairing what would taste best to get you the most amazing cup of coffee.

Big Acai Bowl had loads of smoothies and yogurt options for a midday snack or paring to breakfast!

Van Veen Chocolates had these spectacular cookie butter dark chocolates. Had to tell ourselves not to eat them all in one sitting!!!

We had some amazing beef jerky and beef sticks at In’t Veld’s Meat Market. It was some of the best we've ever tasted!

Liberty Street Kitchen was inside our hotel, The Royal Amsterdam Hotel . We had steak and fish and they were absolutely delicious. What really knocked our socks off was the crème brûlée! (Which we ate too quickly to get a picture of.)

We also had some of the Pella Red wine from The Wijn House . It was a perfect way to relax while at the Royal Amsterdam Hotel after walking around town all day.

I won't lie to you, by lunchtime on our first day in Pella my husband was already discussing when we could come back with friends and family.

We didn't even get a chance to enjoy all the outdoor activities near Lake Red Rock. Although I am fairly certain I will go there to enjoy the next astronomical event!

I really could go on and on AND ON about how much my husband and I enjoyed Pella, Iowa. Whether you're visiting Iowa, traveling across the US on I-80, wanting to go to Europe without a passport, or just looking for an amazing place to visit, Pella needs to be on your vacation dream list.

See more of my Pella trip on the @bad_science_jokes Instagram with a full walkthrough or my little synopsis video.

5/25/22 Astoria along the pacific ocean, Oregon USA

Did you know that Kindergarten Cop and Goonies were filmed some in Astoria? Astoria is a interesting place to visit. There are signs up that will tell you about different sights that were filmed here. For instance we saw the school they used in Kindergarten Cop film. And Goonies, the thought of that movie always puts a smile on my face.

Rialto Beach, yet another picture taken from this spot. If you are like me you will take many many many pictures all just a little different from the same spot.
