Kickin' it in Iowa

Hey y'all! (Gotta say that before I lose it :-) Blogging here from lovely Council Bluffs, Iowa. It was a great drive from St. Louis to here (outside Omaha, Nebraska). We left late after a huge brunch that kept us filled up for most of the day (Thanks Brad & Rockie!) We stopped in Kansas City....this was another fun-filled train day for Roger. He's a happy camper!! We spent a few hours at the Union Train Station in KC. It was built in the early 1900's and was the second largest train station in the US. It is so grand! We had a nice late lunch there and then toured the train museum....Roger is truly in heaven.

We then went across the road to the Liberty Memorial...which was so fitting since it is Memorial Day. It was a very beautiful monument erected after WWI.

We hit the road & just before we got out of the great state of Missouri, Roger was pulled over for speeding....darn! He had been watching his speed very carefully & unfortunately got side tracked as I was looking at the map for tomorrow's adventure. He was going 81 in a 70 zone....the policeman was very nice though and knocked his speed down one MPH, so his ticket would be slightly less :-) Nothing like setting a great example for your kidlets as you sit in the patrol car ha!!

We just had a light dinner & I saw this computer available at the hotel....perfecto! I really do love hearing from all of you...it is so nice to know my friends are out there encouraging us (cuz boy howdy do I need it from time to time!)

Hugs and kisses from the creat corn state! Onward ho tomorrow to Sioux City and beyond! Up next is the World's Largest Prairie Dog, the Corn Palace, etc.! And maybe, just maybe, if we're LUCKY....another train station/museum! Woohoo!

Nighty night!


I'll post pictures later.
