Views From A Vet's Wife: Iowa

Driving to Iowa is not the most exciting thing. We decided to leave after Caylee's dinner. That way all she'd need is a bottle (which she can hold herself while we are driving) and one stop for a diaper change. Of course, it would happen that on the highway (still in Lexington) we were at a dead stop with traffic. So dead that Matt decided he wanted to take a nap while I drove the beginning and he finished the end (he knows I fall asleep too easily at night). So right there on the highway, we got out of the car, and switched places.

Finally, 8 hours later, we pulled into Dad's house! It was 2am for us, just 1am there. They were nice and took us right to our room so we could get to sleep, but someone decided that she had already slept on the trip up and refused to sleep. So Matt stayed up another 2 hours with her and played before they both crashed on the couch! He's so good!

Friday, we hung around the house and did some wedding preps for Debbie. Then Dad took us to eat at the World's Largest TruckStop. Turns out, it's not anymore, but they have the name patented.

Growing up, we've eaten at lots of truckstops/gas stations with dad. This was by far the nicest! They even had a dentist offce inside and a movie theater! Not much in Iowa, but this truckstop had it all!
