Willkommen from the Amana Colonies of Iowa. Iowa is the 48th state I have visited. I have now been to all of the 48 contiguous states. I will probably never make it to Hawaii but I am hoping Mom and Dad will someday take me to Alaska. Since Mom and Dad have already been to Hawaii and Alaska, they have now visited all 50 states. We arrived here today from Minnesota. We are staying at the Amana Colonies RV Park, which is owned by the Amana Society. When you hear Amana, most people today think of the Amana appliances that are still made here today. The Amana Colonies date back to the mid 1850's when German immigrants set up a communal lifestyle here. Many of the original building are still in use today. Dad said this area reminds him a lot of the Amish towns, such as Intercourse, in Pennsylvania. Tomorrow, Mom and Dad will be touring the Herbert Hoover Presidential Library, Museum and gravesite. Friday we will be heading to Indiana.
