Start Your Engines


Yesterday marked the first official day of the road trip. We left Brenham and headed north to Dallas and then hopped on I-35. The first destination is Spirit Lake, Iowa and it will take 17 hours to drive there. We made it about half way and stopped in Wichita, KS after 9 hours in the car. While passing through Oklahoma, we encountered a little bit of rain, but afterwards saw the most beautiful double rainbow!

Yesterday was a long day but glad to have gotten a large chunk out of the way. Have been listening to Dan Brown's The Lost Symbol on iTunes and it is a pretty good way to pass the time (not to mention a great story thus far). Today we'll be driving through Omaha and then to Iowa. Feels good to be on the road!
