Today was an adventure.
We checked out of the hotel around 8 am and drove to Des Moines, Iowa –
it was the smallest downtown ever. We
ate late – at a Wendy’s – same drill – go through the incredibly crowded drive
through then eat in the parking lot in our laps.
From Des Moines, we drove to Kansas City (btw, first time
any of us had been in Iowa and the first time the kids have been to
Kansas). We decided not to go over to
Omaha so they still haven’t been to Nebraska – I don’t know if I’ll end up
regretting that decision or not but I’m just really ready to be home and eat a
home cooked meal AT A TABLE!
We kept driving past Kansas City (which I thought was
beautiful) and stopped through the McDonalds drive thru in Miami, Oklahoma (no
that was not a typo). We kept trying to
decide if we should just drive all the way through but it was about 8 pm and we
still had five hours to go. So Nick
called and got us a Holiday Inn Express in Vinita, OK.
I’m very glad we stopped.
The gym of course, was closed so Ryan walked the parking lot with me and
now we’re back in the room, watching the news and it was just announced that
Governor Newsome (governor of California) just announced a shelter-in-place for
the ENTIRE STATE OF CALIFORNIA. This is crazy!!!!!
PS. Now writing this on March 20th, we drove back to Dallas today and unpacked. I'm glad to be home but glad we went too. It was a strange and stressful trip but I would have hated to cancel it.
