Our last day in Iowa was spent in the town of LeClaire, right on the banks of the Mighty Mississippi. We checked out Antique Archaeology from History Channel’s “American Pickers" and spent some time wine-tasting in downtown LeClaire.

Petrified Forest National Park
Petrified Forest National Park in Arizona was another amazing park on our Spring Break Southwest Roadtrip. The landscape born of volcanic activity, sediment deposits, and geologic uplift looked as if it truly were a desert scene of vibrant color painted on canvas. The national park preserves petrified logs, as well as ancient petroglyphs and desert formations.
