The day we headed North!

I had an errand to run for work in a little town called Nevada Iowa. It is near the fruit farm we like and Ames, home of Iowa State University, which is home of Reiman Gardens. Note - I think this day was voted "one of the best of the summer" and we didn't even go swimming :o) Berry picking isn't the best during a drought, but we got enough blackberries and blueberries to make a lovely fruit cobbler.

We asked the fruit farmer for a "unique" restaurant in Ames and he recommended Hickory Park. This place definitely had its own style and feel and we loved it.

More on Reiman Gardens later - it deserves a post of its own it was so great.
