My wife had to travel to Mt. Ayr, Iowa, to take care of some professional matters, so I joined her on the day trip with our friend Al. He wanted to show us a cool 50's-themed restaurant, but we arrived to find it closed for the day. Hopefully we'll get a chance to go inside some other time, because looking through the windows revealed some great retro decor.

Photos: June Bug

Check out this rather large June Bug on the screen of our back door here in Iowa last night.

A comparison beside the tip of my thumb....

Photos: Bettendorf, Iowa Trip

Here's some photos from a trip to Bettendorf, Iowa where I attended an Education Technology Conference with my wife on June 21 and June 22.

We stayed at The Lodge, a European-styled hotel with lots of fantastic wood carvings, furniture, artwork, and architecture. I didn't have a lot of time to take photos, but I was able to capture a few interesting shots. April also managed to snap a few photos of the exterior from the vehicle on our way home.

















Apparently, Iowa can lay claim to the 'World's Largest Truckstop'...

Photos: Bathroom Spider

One of the cats saw this critter crawling into the bathroom last night. The photos make it look larger than actual size, which was about the width of a quarter. Still, I wouldn't want it creeping up on me, so I scooped it up and put it outside.

Photos: Iowa State Insect Zoo

My wife was asked to photograph the Iowa State Insect Zoo traveling exhibit so I tagged along and snapped a few shots of my own. There were lots of other events including craft activities, games, storytelling, a book fair, and a snack room where guests could make 'Ants on a Log.'

Colorful, creepy crawlies and snacks...what more could a kid ask for?
