That is where my parents are and where we will spend our first 4 to 5 days.........so..........stay tuned......this story might be a COMEDY , it might be a DRAMA, it might be a FRIGHT show, but i KNOW it will NOT be BORING!

Hey! I'm GREAT at directions! The Pittsburgh thing was Emily's fault!! I've traveled BY MYSELF all over the country with 0 problems!! Just let ME lead the way...............(but please have Dad print off directions first!:-)
It is easy to get to Iowa. Drive north, then west, then north, then west, then north awhile until you see corn and beans for as far as the eye can see. Watch for cows, pigs and tornadoes.
Don't look at the destination as your whole trip! The trip is part of the fun! There are a million things to see between here and there. Take your cameras and plan to stop to see some of it.
Can't wait to see you all next week. You'll have to take a tour of your stomping grounds and see how things have changed...and how they have stayed the same.
Josh calls their trips to Iowa going "back in time". Whatever...
Beth, come on now.........you just confirmed everybody's conception of Iowa being NOTHING but cows, pigs, and corn! and tornadoes!.......while it is TRUE........Iowa is quite HIP, right???? please say I am right!!!!!!!!!!!..............
