Good sunny morning from Iowa City....I made a correction to the blog (thank you Heather, Anne's friend). Michael graduated from U of Iowa in 1993 - not 1989. Making my kids older than they really are!
Lots of families in town for graduation (6,000+ getting their degrees)!
Hyatt lobby
Mark and I walked to The Coffee Emporium for light breakfast
Cute sign from the neighborhood coffee shop
The Coffee Emporium
Judy and I walked to Von Maur and browsed...no purchases. Bob and Mark did some walking along the Iowa River and then onto trails in the woods. Beautiful area behind our hotel.
We 4 left at 11:40 for the Big Grove Brewery - HUGE crowd inside and out. Got some drinks and waited for our table. There were 13 of us....Anne, Liam and Connor arrived at lunch time. Happy to have some of my kiddos here.....missing Davis (internship starts Monday), Philip, Annette, Luke, Maeve and Ryan.
Our 3 teens
Liam, Connor, Brady
Bob, Judy, Mark and I rested and read in our rooms after lunch. The younger kiddos went rock climbing (Blair) and axe throwing (Drew, Brady, Liam and Connor).
We all met at The Vue (rooftop restaurant at the Hilton.) This is a favorite and we had a party of 12 (all family) - food/drinks/desserts all excellent and Kate, our waitress was very good!
