Road Trip Randomness...

we saw some of the most beautiful, clean rest stops.
this one happened to be in Minnesota almost into Iowa


we saw lots of facial hair and trucker hats
(this was Whole Foods, West Des Moines)

Lauren had the perfect road trip spot...
Slurpee, snacks and an iTouch

Iowa is very, very flat

even in middle America, we found traces of home

Whattt???? never did figure this one out
uku lady?

Traci and I were so impressed with the renovations that
were going on in the large downtown areas

beautiful hand-made Minnesota wood bowl

we saw lots and lots of trucks and truck stops

and lots of red barns and silos

there seems to be a real trend toward co-op markets back there

Nice Ride Bikes.
We saw these all over Minneapolis, St. Paul and Des Moines.
Traci said they have them in New York also.
For a small fee, you rent a bike and ride between the rental stands.  Really a good idea.
We saw so many people riding bikes

Minnesota has some really big, old cemeteries.  
This one was Lakeshore and it was huge

we kept track of how many different car license plates we saw.
We saw over half of the US in just four days!

All-in-all a really great trip!
