Andy & Hannah
Things To Do
Pappajohn Sculpture Park
The Sculpture Garden is neat all on its own, but it is also the sight of the 80/35 Music Festival (where Andy and Hannah met!)
Des Moines Botanical Garden
The Des Moines Botanical Garden is pretty neat. We almost got married there but then we didn't.
Leaning Tower of Pizza
Leaning Tower of Pizza is an Uptown Ankeny classic!
Tasty Tacos
You cannot go to the Des Moines area and not get Tasty Tacos!!! Visit them at any one of their six locations. Nada es imposible!
Exile Brewing Company
Home of Hannah's favorite beer the "Hannah" ale, which we will have available in keg form at the pizza party... err... wedding!
The Vaudeville Mews
Divey little music hall that is one of Andy's old haunts from way back when! PLUS it is surronded by great places to get a bite or a beer: Fong's Pizza, Bernardo's, The Royal Mile, The Lift and more!
Des Moines "Downtown" Farmers Market
The Downtown Farmers Market is the most epic farmers market you have ever been to. Hannah recommends the breakfast burrito and Andy says to take your time and enjoy a concert or two. Don't forget a DUTCH LETTER!
The City of Ames
We recommend the city of Ames. There are a lot of things there and so it is just easier to recommend the whole place. Hannah and Andy both went to the illustrious Iowa State University, and they spent a lot of time there. If you need more specifics, try Jeff's Pizza, Indian Palace, Cafe B, or Pamel's Grocer to eat. Try London Underground, Cafe B, Thumbs, or Mother's for a drink. Try Reiman Gardens, Ada Hayden or Perfect Games for family fun.... wow this is a long one!
