Easter was lovely. We took yet another road trip, but this one turned out to be so nice. We ventured down to Iowa to Bob and Kate's new house, so it was a relatively short drive, and very relaxed and kid-friendly.
Breakfast at McDonald's on the way
Isn't it wonderful? And they have 40 acres of brushy/wooded land for exploring, in addition to a beautiful, huge lawn. It reminded me so much of the dome home that my grandparents lived in when I was growing up. It just felt good to be there.
Oh, and they have a dumbwaiter! How fun is that? The kids liked it quite a bit :)
It was also handy for moving our luggage to the top floor
We went hunting for morel mushrooms on their land since we happened to be there during their short growing season. Apparently they are a pretty big deal around there, selling for $30/pound. Everyone had a great time and we found lots.
See the bag of mushrooms?
A beautiful area on their land with a broken down barn. Think of the history!
