Today we arrived in the wonderful city of Des Moines, Iowa. The choir had a chance to shop, eat, or go out and explore. The various places that were recommended to us were the botanical gardens, the capitol building, the Iowa History museum, and The Art Center. Some choir members had the chance to visit all of these interesting and beautiful places. The capitol building held an amazing view of the city and was a beautiful building to view, the Art Center was free for all choir members, and the history museum was massive, but my favorite place was the Des Moines Botanical Gardens. The botanical gardens were absolutely incredible. The gardens gave many choir members a break from the constantly brown scenery and cold weather. Plants from all over the world were displaying their bright and bold colors, while turtles and fish swam in a little stream beside them. By the end of our exploration in Des Moines, the choir was exhausted, but content. Des Moines was a much needed break that made everyone thoroughly satisfied.
