We made it to Iowa safely today (read on to find out why I don't include the other portion of that phrase)! We left Indianapolis at 6:00 Indiana time and got here at 1:30 Iowa time, so it took us all of 8 1/2 hours to get here! We did have to take it a little slower through Illinois - blowing snow and pretty slick. Lots of vehicles in the ditch to watch ...
It was a torturous trip for poor Jordan. You take a 15-month-old toddler who just wants to run and shove him into a carseat strapped down for 8 1/2 hours, and you can just about guess the outcome. He wanted to take a nap this afternoon from the I-80 truck stop at Walcott to GC, but he just can't get comfortable sitting up in those seats for the life of him and, hence, 45 minutes later he was back awake and ready to get out. He also likes to scream as his major method of communication, and quite often (just to add to the totality of fun we got to experience)!
Meggan was fine, as usual. She has gotten used to the ride and doesn't mind it because of the end result - seeing Grandma and Papa, Crystal and Jesse, Matt and family, etc. She does ask every so often if we're almost to Iowa yet, but that's about the worst that it gets! She watched a few movies and colored and wrote letters quite a bit to pass the hours by.
Just wanted everyone to know we made it just fine and survived the fun! Not so sure about this trip to Missouri and the drive back home from there, which is about 10 hours long ...
