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.

Because mid-October is prime leafing time in Iowa, I have explored three Iowa parks this past week.. And the leafing did NOT disappoint. While I have been to all three parks before, it is always fun to see the seasons change in all three of these parks.

I was amazed to discover all the fun things to do at Platte River State Park near Louisville, Nebraska.
