My bachelorette party quickly turned into a bootcamp to get us from one thing to the next. We started off the day with wine tasting at Jasper Winery, a class at Kees Camp, dinner at Court Ave Brewery, das boot at Hessen Haus and dancing around the bars in Court Ave.
I've always wanted to use that line but never had the perfect chance until now. One of my high school friends from Chicago came to town to help celebrate the end of my singleness. It was her first time in Iowa. We had a big day planned for Saturday so Friday night was pretty chill. I took her to Star Bar and the best dive bar in town: Carl's. It's far and few between when my friends are able to come visit me. As such, I like to try to impress them with all the fine offerings of DSM. That's exactly why we hit up Carl's. Brittany was surprised again and again by how cheap her bill was. So she asked the innocent question, "Where am I?" And the best answer I had, "It's not heaven; it's Iowa." BAM
