No visit to Des Moines is complete without spending some time in the shoe department of the Von Maur department store. I'm not sure if any of us bought anything, but Von Maur always has the most fashionable and latest shoe styles. We stopped at Jordan Creek, http://www.jordancreektowncenter.com/ for some more browsing and then lunch at On The Border, http://www.ontheborder.com/, another must-do when Cody and Elizabeth are in town.
The next day we decided to check out some local places that I had heard about. First was the Cheese Shop of Des Moines. I will definitely be back here to do some more cheese shopping, http://thecheeseshopdsm.com/.
Elizabeth checking out the vast array of the deliciousness of cheese. We explored the Roosevelt area a little further and then headed for West End Archetectural Salvage, http://www.westendsalvage.com/. If you are a repurposer or a reuser, this is basically an old grocery warehouse filled with 3 floors of high priced (I believe I can safely say over-priced) junk. I like to look at something and try to visualize where it was used before and what the people were like who had this particular item.
We were able to do some hanging around home, watch a lot of basketball and monitor our pool picks closely and then before I knew it, it was time for them to leave. I have so much fun when Cody, Elizabeth Carson or Carissa are around and then when they are gone, I just miss them so much. We have some family events coming up that I am eagerly anticipating. Can't wait.
