Trip to Iowa

We went to Iowa this weekend for my grandparents 60th anniversary. Wow, that's a long time. If I got married today I would be 88 years old when it was my 60th anniversary. That would be in year 2068. I'm guessing pigs could fly by then. It was good to see the family, and it was nice to get out of the city for the weekend.

After all of our fun, it was time to drive home. It was raining which froze and then it started snowing. So we decided to start driving towards Cedar Rapids and a 40 minute drive turned into 1.5 hours driving through snow drifts and barely staying on the road. It was probably the worst driving conditions I've ever been in. Greg was a trooper and drove the whole way and even put up with my occasional scream and cringing. This morning we left from Cedar Rapids and 6 hours later we were in Minneapolis. Between Cedar Rapids and the Minnesota border we saw 108 cars in the ditch. I called 911 twice because we saw cars go into the ditch and couldn't stop to help them. But we made it. Barely.

I am ready for Spring!! No more snow. No more negative high temperatures. I am looking forward not to wearing a hat, scarf, mittens and ski goggles when I leave the house.
