Things To Do
Although we live in Boone, there is not much to do around here so we always drive to Ames to access civilization. Here are some of our favorite restaurants and places to visit. We know that it will be a busy weekend, but we hope you have time to meet Iowa State's campus where our love started!
Iowa State University
Ames, IA 50011, (515) 294-4111
The place where it all began. There are walking paths all around Iowa State's campus, and several buildings are open to the public, especially the Memorial Union.
