I had the pleasure to be in Northeast Iowa promoting all sorts of delicious restaurants for the Allamakee County Beef Passport. Hey, they picked the right guy!
One of those great meals was this ribeye sandwich at nearby Lid’s Bar & Grill! Just look at that tender steak….And that’s lunch!
When gallivanting we need a comfy place to stay and I happen to have my little companion, Jelly Belly, with me on this trip. So we needed a host that was pet friendly as well. The Waukon Retreat was ready to welcome us in!
As you can see….We’re a couple of pros when it comes to selfies. Spacious living room with a large TV and comfortable furniture for the whole group at the Waukon Retreat!These hosts know how to take care of their guests while beefing up your trip to NE-Iowa!
