First day on the road

We were up and out at 3 AM.  Drove through Sarnia and for the next 2 hours in the rain.  Not fun at night.  Then drove (I use the term loosely, because Joe drove) for 14 hours total and put 1300 K behind us.  We checked into the Holiday Inn in Des Moines, Iowa and went down the the pool for some exercise.  What a beautiful pool they have here.  It is quite big, two walls are covered with a huge mural with an outdoor scene of trees, rocks and waterfalls,  two large windows, lovely water temperature and to top it off a spa!  What a great way to end the day.

We don't have to go out to get dinner.  We ordered four chicken wraps at McDonalds for lunch thinking they were the mini wraps.  Turned out they were big.  So we have two left for dinner.That's good because we are pretty tired.  We will have a glass of wine and then dinner and bed.  At least I will, Joe may watch some baseball or something.
