So we had a great time this past weekend in Iowa City. We drove up on Friday morning..and after checking in what was the first thing we did...play on the LARGE playground right outside the hotel in the middle of "downtown" Iowa City!! I am sure we will be spending lots of time here. There was the play area, a water area, shops, food..all that you need!
Next we went and met Jason's new bosses and met up with them for dinner. They were very nice and helpful. After dinner they even drove us around a few areas and gave me all the lowdown on the schools!! I even found out about their duel career program (they help spouses find a job due to having to relocate).
Late that night..around 12:30am, my parents made it into town! I was so excited to see them!!! 
Saturday we went out to the Amana Colonies and enjoyed the shops and got some great bakery items!! Of course Hadley left there with almost every toy and item she wanted..thanks to Grandma and Grandpa..okay..mainly Grandpa!!
After that we hit the outlets..who doesn't love outlets..Coach, Banana Republic, Polo! We then found a great BBQ place for dinner..we had to find one since Jason LOVES BBQ..as does Hadley!
Sunday we drove around to some of the areas to live and the schools. Sadly, we had to say good-bye to Grandma and Grandpa...but we are so excited that soon they will be so close!
Before we left town we drove to Cedar Rapids to see my friend Carolyn and her family. I was so excited to see her as it has been way too long! And I saw her adorable little baby Reid!! Hadley loved seeing him the most. She adored him!!!
So overall, our first trip to Iowa City just showed us that we are ready to move out of Chicago! We know we will love it and it will be great to be closer to friends and family!!
