Randal and I are right outside of Iowa City tonight after a late start today. I am pleased that we didn't go further than this though as he will get his first dose of the Amana Colonies tomorrow morning, which was a yearly tradition for the Jochims when we would visit Iowa. I tried to explain them to him: "It was a colony like the Shakers or the Amish. They make great textiles like my green blanket. And refrigerators. We eat breakfast there! There's a waterpark in the hotel! There are metal horses outside where you have to take your pictures." His comment: "Are any of the parts of that true? I don't know if you're completely lying or if this is just a really weird truth."
Weird truth, it is! Wikipedia confirmed it!
We continue on our journey west, getting closer to secondary pitch day in Klamath Falls (June 17th) and house closing (next week?). Maizie and Bogey are still extra well-behaved.
We are both appreciative of the respective time with some of our families and a moment to catch up and take a breath. And excited about all of the great furniture we got! Civil War Era fainting couch! Yes!

Think of us as we travel across the country and hit some serious highlights. For example, aside from Amana breakfast tomorrow, Randal gets to experience Atlantic, IA for the first time including a trip to Bonneson's 5 and dime store! The fun really never stops.
