100 (or so) things to do around Iowa!

Jeff and I decided since it was hopefully our last summer without a baby we should pack it full of fun road trips and sight seeing. Granted, we're on a tight 'baby budget' so that means we're going road tripping in ....IOWA! :-) I asked my fellow nesties and came up with quite the list of fun/or not so fun/things to do in and around Iowa!
