We're Baaaaack.....

On Friday we headed to Missouri for Mike's Grandfather's 75th surprise party. Here are some highlights (and a few low-lights) of the trip:

• 505 miles one way
• 2 children that slept most of the way there!!
• Grandpa being really really surprised - always a sign of a successful surprise party
• Seeing Mike's cousin's children (and his cousins)
• Lots of great food and great company
• Learning how to play Guitar Hero (I own the top score for Even Flow)
• Playing Apples to Apples
• Driving through white out conditions in Iowa. I think we counted 86 cars in the ditch from the big storm on Sunday. Yikes.
• 2 children who barely slept on the way home

I'll post some pictures later, but right now there are suitcases to be unpacked and laundry to be washed.
