Nothing says fun better than "free horse-drawn trolley rides!" Iowa city has a host of fun activities for the holidays!
We were lucky to get downtown early enough Saturday to score tickets for the trolley ride. It was very festive, with matching black Percherons all decked out in jingle bell harnesses pulling the trolley.
We were also lucky that the weather was beautiful, and not too cold to take the baby out!
We visited a lot of small shops downtown that were sponsoring an elf hunt!
Hugo was happy and warm in his car seat/stroller the entire time.
It was fun finding the hidden elf in each store, but it was also interesting to find some really unique stores in downtown Iowa City!
We were not too proud to stop at the
children's library and pick up our toy surprises for completing the challenge!
We stopped at Molly's cupcakes (on USA Today's list of 10 best cupcake stores) and bought a selection of gourmet cupcakes for dessert later.
In the evening we went for a dip in the pool at the Residence Inn. Actually, only Amanda, Crystal and Ed were brave enough for the cool pool!
The rest of us were happy with a soak in the hot tub!
Hugo didn't go in the water, but did enjoy lounging in his diaper by the side of the pool! He looks like a true Finnish Hauta in his steam room!
