Favorite memories from our journey east...

Any guesses on where the following set of pictures were taken?
One hint... "If you build it, he will come."




I spent over a month in Iowa as part of Bill Bradley's campaign in 1999 & 2000. Having the chance to go back to the state, and getting to see it without snow-covered grounds, was very special. This was also an exciting stop for Mike... He had the chance to visit the legendary "Field of Dreams" where the Academy Award nominated movie (Field of Dreams) was filmed in 1989. The owners of the farm where the movie was filmed have kept everything in pristine condition. They welcome visitors from across the world to stop by and invite you to play on the fields, walk the grounds and participate in a celebration of Americana.





This last picture was taken on the wood bleachers that Kevin Costner inscribed with "Ray loves Annie." The heart and message are still there.
