Sometimes we have entire days to travel and sometimes we only have hours. But either way, travel is always worth it! Join me as I lay out a travel itinerary for a wonderful getaway to Winterset, Iowa, a quaint small town in central Iowa.

I spent the Fourth of July this year in the Okoboji area in Iowa, as I sometimes do. This year, due to flooding in Northwest Iowa (heartbreaking), I had to take a different route than normal to get there. On the way home I was looking for fun stops on Google Maps and I spotted Lost Island Lake Nature Center a ways south of Spencer, Iowa. So I paid it a visit on the Sunday afternoon after the 4th.
