86 days, something like 9,500 miles, 20 states, a thousand laughs and a hundred tears! Saying the last three months were a whirlwind would be a gross understatement. We have seen some of the most awe-inspiring landscapes and the most desolate terrains and we've had a blast! I'm going to try to go back and catch up...get these memories down before they begin to blur together or fade. Once we left Peoria, I didn't get a good chance to use a desktop and blogging from a phone is just not fun. So to catch up.....after Illinois we headed across Iowa toward my parent's in Nebraska. Des Moines is the halfway point on that route so we stopped to see Grandma Maryann and Rachel for lunch.
World's Largest Truck Stop was actually quite impressive and felt like a classic road trip stop.
Picturesque farms and red barns dot the landscape across Iowa.
Who loves books?.....This boy! Thanks Grandma Maryann.
Ahhh....no matter how many times they move mom's table always feels like home! The kids all rave over grandma's cooking and how cool their aunt and uncles are.....not to mention how much they love Papa's teasing.
