Day 3, 4 and 5: Lounging in Des Moines

We had originally planned to stay another night in Champaign but Ainsley wasn't doing so well with the wind and staying in a small room. We checked out and drove to Iowa. We arrived a bit after 11pm. Driving that late was rough because we were already so tired. The wind was crazy and we saw so many semis and such in the ditch from a snow storm a few days prior.

We spent Saturday and Sunday doing a whole bunch of nothing except messing up our gracious hostess' house by throwing up on her kid's bed (poor Avy) and eating her marker tips (Ainsley). So far we have traveled 1302 miles and driven for 24 hours and 25 minutes. This was the short leg of or trip!

One not so great part about these short lay overs is not having enough time to see everyone. We hardly made the rounds this time and there isn't anything we can do about it. From missing a former business partner to a brand new baby- we missed some important people.

We will be heading for grandma and grandpa's in the morning.

Poor Avery! And seriously, Ainsley will eat anything meant for coloring! Does she have her senses mixed up, and think that pretty colors mean tasty treats?
