A day full of adventure, whimsy and great beauty--we visited Independence, Iowa--home of a historic mill and a beautiful public library with many imaginative touches (plus being the land of inflatable Christmas characters). We also ventured south to the Czech Village in Cedar Rapids, to the newly restored National Czech and Slovak museum (damaged in the flood of 2008) to see a gallery of full size color lithographs by Alphonse Mucha--wonderful!
Looks like they are posing

They are quite adorable-this was right across the street from the Independence PL
