We started the day off by having breakfast with Kari's folks at a local restaurant in Alliance. After saying goodbye to Sandy and Ted, we stopped at the hospital (Kari's brother Dana is the head of the maintenance department at the hospital) to say goodbye. Then we started off for North English, Iowa.Kari took the first leg of the very, very, very long trip. It is amazing how fast one can drive in Nebraska, but fortunately for us Kari decided to slow down just in time to see a large pickup pull over a car. The pickup was a Nebraska Highway Patrol vehicle...yes in Nebraska you are liable to see anything.
I have been asked via texting on my cell phone whether or not Mitchell has been driving.
Well unfortunately when you rent a vehicle all drivers must be 25 years of age or older so he has not had the pleasure of driving. He has been entertaining us with song, different voices, etc.
I took over the driving responsibilities as soon as we were able to cross over into Iowa and stopped for a Maid Rite sandwich. If you do not know what a Maid Rite is it is like a sloppy joe sandwich without the sauce. It is a wonderful sandwich and something that both Kari and I ate growing up in Iowa.
Well we finally made it to North English at 10:35 Sellersburg time (9:35 pm Iowa time). It is great to see my folks and we are all looking forward to spending the next couple of days with them.
