We drove from North Platte, NE to Independence, MO. We spend the time in the car reading The Great Brain, listening to audiobooks or music, and watching movies.
The drive felt longer because of all the potty breaks!
Is this Heaven? No, it"s Iowa! (Field of Dreams reference)
Alexis drove on the highway for the 1st time and learned to use cruise control.
We finally arrived in Independence and found our hotel. Our room has a weird skylight over our beds and the hallways are painted bright citrus colors. It's a very homey place, with a garden and fish pond full of coy in the back, and there are little lounges where you can watch movies or play games.
We decided to walk to a nearby park and discovered that Harry Truman's house is across the street from where we are staying. The houses around here are amazing with big, awesome trees in the yards.
At the park Seth and I raced Alexis to the playground. She gave us a head start and had to dribble her soccer ball and she still beat me. Alexis said she wanted to meet people - which she did. A two year old girl really wanted to play soccer with us. She got a few kicks in, then we played a keep away game. We are not used to the humidity!
Back at the hotel, I did laundry, cut Cam's hair, and we watched Lilo & Stitch, before heading to bed.
