Let’s eat update: I know I’ve said this before and I’ll probably say it again, I love Luna Bistro! The service, the ambiance, THE FOOD, everything is always amazing. My compliments to the lovely Chef Kris Van Tuyl and his staff for always surprising my taste buds with something new every time I’m there.

Luna Bistro – the star of Des Moines Restaurant Week

Marcus heads out early in the morning for a 27-hole golf tournament called The Death March, so I’m on my own for the day. I can think of no better way to spend my free day then with a trip with my sister, Morgan, to the greatest state fair around, the Iowa State Fair.

Nothing says IOWA like hugging pics, corn dogs and ferris wheels.

On my fair to-do list:
-Check out the miniature houses, photography entries,woodcarvings and sand sculpture in the Cultural Center
-Say ‘hey’ to the Avenue of Breeds
-Breeze by the butter cow sculpture because I hate waiting in lines
-Marvel at the jumbo veggies and hard-to-pronounce flowers in the Ag Building
-Eat something on a stick

Do you go to your state’s fair?
