Iowa City Adventures

Sunday night took us from Decatur, Illinois to the home of the Iowa Hawkeyes! We arrived early enough to stop and see Tanner and take a quick walk around campus with him. We worked for three days from Iowa City and had a great set up in our hotel room right downtown. We were able to have dinner with Tanner on Monday night at Basta (sitting outside), make a Target run with him, go to lunch on Tuesday (also sitting outside) and watch his ultimate frisbee practice on Tuesday night. We were able to meet a couple of the captains and just see Tanner be in his element. It was so great to be able to catch up in person with him and hear all about his friends, classes and his activities. 

We moved to a co-working space on Wednesday morning that was right outside our hotel. It had a couple cubbies in the back that worked for a more private space which was wonderful. I was able to cut out around 3:30 and walked over to meet Tanner at his dorm. We stopped at the bookstore for a couple of things and then walked to downtown to meet Marshall. I'm already looking forward to coming back in a few weeks for Family Weekend!
