Iowa was such a surprise. What a beautiful place! I'd really like to go back and get off the main highway at some point. We were East Coast snobs and laughed at the "cities" but everyone admired the landscape. Kind of reminiscent of France except everything was corn instead of grapevines.
We've decided to run an experiment when we get out west: in honor of all those who have told us about their family trips, we're going to turn off all electronica, turn off the a/c, open the windows and maybe sing a song or two and see how long we can last without killing each other. I'll let you know how that goes.
Great barbecue last night in Omaha. Way too much food but we thought we were starving. This looks like a pleasant place, too. I'm eager to see the old market area. The Missouri is definitely over its banks; there were highway closure signs and we passed a restaurant whose back deck was under water but whose front deck still had people dining (must be a good spot!).
I'm peanutbutter and you are jelly and we're so happy on our little piece of bread......
ReplyDeleteSinging sounds like fun. I should have taught you some more g.s. songs.
not sure how long i could do that before snapping on somebody pretty sure i would go insane. anyways hope i get to see you guys in tyler. havent seen you guys in forever(Expect Ricky)hope you guys enjoy the road trip.
ReplyDeleteBefore trying your experiment, you should plan your schedule of who gets to sit where while the windows are open. Also, get yourselves six tumbleweeds and tie them to the car. whoever's lasts the longest wins and the winner gets to pick the am station to listen to for an hour. Good times!
