Headed Home

That's right. We're currently somewhere in Kansas headed back to Texas. It was a wonderful visit and our last evening was spent watching my cousin, Tanya's son, Trenton's t-ball game followed by a great steak meal at The Open Flame in Gilbert.

It was cool--the novelty is that you cook your own steak. Good times, good food! Earlier in the week, Robert and I had stumbled on a bar in the Campustown part of Ames called Capone's and loved everything about it. We found out that Wednesday nights are their karaoke nights so we headed there from The Open Flame and Tanya met us up there.

I think this was probably our best trip Iowa to date. I'm so happy to have been able to spend time with the fam and see the sights. I mentioned in my last blog that we took a ton of pictures so my next task will involve uploading and posting them to my blog.

Up next: Father's Day!

Iowa (Part I)

We've been here since Friday and I am having a wonderful time!

Iowa is where I spent many happy childhood summers and tonight I'm remembering why. Cool, breezy nights, ball games, trips to Starbuck's fast food for legendary cheese balls, and hotdog roasts at my grandma's house to name a few.

I'll post pictures when we get home--we've taken a ton--as I can't wait to share my adventures. Today we walked the Iowa State campus, loaded up on new ISU gear, had supper at my cousin's house in Gilbert and went to watch her daughter, Taylor play softball.
I wish we could stay longer. It's so great that the boys have cousins close in age to them and when they get together, it's like they pick up where they left off; they don't miss a beat.

Well, we're in a theatre about to watch a movie so I guess I'm gonna end this blog for now. Pictures coming soon!
