Midwest - Part 1

Yesterday we managed to drive the entire state of Nebraska and almost the state of Iowa as well. We covered close to 850 miles. The picture below explains how you feel in the middle of Nebraska. However, John didn't think Nebraska was as bad as what everyone says.
The best part of the trip yesterday was stopping in Altoona, IA (just east of Des Moines) and seeing our aunt, uncle and cousins from Fairbanks, AK!! Yes, family from Fairbanks in Iowa. Too funny. We love you Scott, Tamara, Jake and Gus! We have been so blessed to see family every stop of the way so far.


And one more thing... you know you are in the Midwest when you order a salad on the menu at DQ and the guy helping you says, "We don't really do salads anymore." Ok then.
