Our route back to Chicago took us into Nebraska. I wasn't expecting much from this state but we decided to stop off in Omaha. I was really surprised, it's actually a really nice city. It's obviously not a touristy city but I can imagine it's a great city to live in. There were lots of coffee shops and nice shops, it just had a really nice funky vibe.
Our final state of the trip was Iowa. We drove to Des Moines to Drake University to see a college football game. It's not a big college so there wasn't a big crowd but it was fun, I actually think I prefer it to watching an NFL game. And they had the best mascot ever - a grumpy bulldog who strutted up and down the side of the field!
When we arrived back in Chicago we had a bit of spare time to make a another visit to Pizza Due for for some more Chicago style pizza and we also went to the Robie House, another Frank Lloyd Wright designed home.
