As I was driving around on Labor Day, I found the World War II memorial behind the capitol building. The memorial itself is quite amazing, with a timeline on events in the concrete on the ground, the eternal flame, and this memorial about Pearl Harbor. See the travelogue for more pics!
Iowa Machine Shed Restaurant

Enough food for a farmer. Gift shop in the lobby of the resaurant, which has everything a tourist will ever want from Iowa. Double-Cut Iowa Pork Chop. It's a pork chop as big as your head! I hear the steaks are great too.

I've lived in Des Moines since early 1999. Although I grew up here as a child, I moved away as most Iowa teens are want to do.
Returning as an adult gives you a new perspective on this city.
There is tons to do and see throughout the town.
