Oktoberfest at the Amana Colonies

The Amana Colonies are located in Eastern Iowa.

My family and I began celebrating Oktoberfest yesterday in a quaint little village with a rich history.  The Amana Colonies attract tourists from far off and visitors get a peek into the past.  We give Iowa's oldest  microbrewery, located here in Amana, a two thumbs up rating.  Small shops offering clocks, chocolates, and household wares dot the winding roads.

The Fall colors offer many Kodak moments.  There is nothing like a stroll in the Amana Colonies with my family during this time of year.  It reminds me of another tourist attraction on the West Coast up in the mountains.  If Julian and the Amana Colonies were related, they would be first cousins.  Both are worth a visit, especially during Oktoberfest.
