Last weekend Scott and I went to Council Bluffs on Friday night. Melanie was in a play and we planned to attend the Saturday afternoon performance, so we decided we would rather go straight from Des Moines on Friday and stay for one night than drive both directions on Saturday. We stayed in the Settle Inn (which was a little expensive for the room we got), but we did enjoy the knight on his steed in front of the hotel.
Scott and his fascination with a horse's hind end...
We met Melanie at the mall on Saturday morning and had lunch with her. We also raided the gum machines.
We had about 2 hours to kill between when Melanie had to be there, and when the show started. Scott and I decided to go to the Lewis & Clark Monument and get some nice views of the river, and learn a little of the local history. We had a fairly decent view...
...but didn't actually get to see the monument because there was a wedding going on there! Guess we'll have to come back to the monument some other time. We hope that Lewis & September (the couple getting married) have a long and happy life together. They sure had beautiful weather on their wedding day.
