Stop #1: Sioux City, Iowa - Poss Home

Well, tonight concludes our stop in Iowa and tomorrow we are on our way to Missouri. We both really enjoyed the 16 hour drive to Iowa. It was a beautiful drive! We did hit some snow in the beginning
And South Dakota was the weirdest state to drive through! They had the most random things on the side of the interstate! Has anyone ever heard of "Wall Drug" There were hundreds of billboards for this place, so we just had to stop!
It was the strangest place ever! I think they had everything you could ever imagine at this place! Here are some silly pictures.
We arrived in Sioux City late Wednesday night (I guess you could say early Thursday morning).We have had a blast with Jordan's family here! Thursday we went to the Circus with Mandy's 2nd grade class (I took some pictures but only on my phone so maybe I can put them on later). Friday Jordan went to work with Kevin at his Physical Therapy clinic, which he loved! He learned sooo much! We all went out to lunch at Pannera with Aunt Kate. Me, Stormy , Mandy and Carter went shopping, and later we went and got pedicures with Brittany. Today (Saturday) we went for a nice walk around Bacon Creek, then to a track meet, and out to dinner. After dinner Uncle Kevin got an itch to go car shopping, and almost came home with a Toyota Tacoma! But resisted the temptation . . . at least for now. Tonight we had a fire on the porch and made smores, then played Apples to Apples. It has been a blast! We both have been able to learn so much more about the Spence side of the family and it has been such a wonderful trip! We are so glad that we made this stop! It went fast, but hopefully we'll be able to come back and visit the Poss family in August when we travel back to Idaho.
