Almost Home

Well, today is the last real day and I think I speak for both of us when I say we are ready to be home. 
It was a leisurely day.  We toured the local ‘castle’ the Salisbury House – a 47 room monstrosity – most of it not open to the public.  Impressive still.  And we visited the Des Moines Center for the Arts, expecting another small museum.  It actually was much bigger than one would have thought.  A varied collection, but my favorite a Hopper painting.

We then toured the mall, nothing unique there, except perhaps for the fact that it was actually active and full, not dying like most of the East.

It was nice to rest and tomorrow we’ll fly out early, have a loooong layover in Atlanta and then be in Bradley by late afternoon.  (Presuming all goes as planned.)

It’s been a good journey and I’m glad to have seen middle America.  I’ll also be glad to be home.

    A fun trip to live vicariously! Hope your travels were smooth and that you have a little time to rest at home before your back to work.

    And not that I am wishing work on you but we'll be glad to have you back. We'll give you a day of rest and then...

    Just think, you can start planning the next adventure!
