We headed out of IA and to Chicago, IL to see the Junes. On the way, we stopped in the adorable town LaClair, IA (Buffalo Bill's hometown, even though I think this is like the third town with that claim) where we dipped our toes in the Mississippi River. We went to the Mississippi River Distillery on the river where we did some vodka, gin and whiskey tasting. We also drove through the hometowns of John Wayne (Winterset, IA) , Ronald Reagan (Dixon, IL) and Herbert Hoover (West Branch, IA). After Chicago, we drove to South Bend, IN, home of Notre Dame.
