Pella, Iowa

Another fun place I ran across on my trip home from Peoria was Pella, Iowa.  Uncle Neal and Aunt Jan stopped there on the way to see us the year we got married and thought I'd like it so I've always wanted to go there. They have a big Tulip Festival every spring that I'd like to go to sometime.  This year with the early warm spring, the tulips bloomed much earlier than their festival time.  The tulips line many of the streets.  You can see where they would be from the last pictures where the summer flowers now are in a row between the sidewalk and the street.

I was going through Pella on a Sun. so most things were closed.  Will have to check out all the shops another time.
