Well we made it to Des Moines a day earlier than we thought. We hit KC before 3:00pm and realized we might as well go on to Des Moines. The hotel could add another night to our stay. Of course, we couldn't get it for the same great price but they did provide us with a discount.
We were wondering when we would start seeing all of the snow and hitting freezing temperatures. For the drive up it was mostly in the 40s including Missouri. The sun was shining for the second day of the trip. Mostly cloudy the first day.
The hotel must have thought we'd be very very cold coming from the South. The room was too hot even for Sharon. We were in t-shirts. We turned the heat way down but it didn't seem to help. For awhile thought we may want to turn on the AC to cool it down. It's better today. Of course, we turned it off for the entire morning and afternoon. And, what is it with using numbers 1 - 10 to determine the temp. What's wrong with using farenheit? We have it set on 3 (10 being the hottest) and just turned it down. Maybe later tonight we can move it back up.
Getting together with my family tomorrow for our Christmas. We'll be driving up to Madrid to my niece, Mykie. Visited with my sister Marcia this afternoon. She has been in a cookie baking mood for the last couple of weeks. So, of course, we had to try them. I think Sharon's favorite was a sugar type cookie (forgot what Marcia called it). She said it melted in her mouth. I liked the gingersnap and pecan/butterscotch.
Tomorrow should be great. I'll get to see my new great niece, Jersey, for the first time.
Sun is still shining here and so far no more additional snow. Des Moines is supposed to have another storm next Wednesday. Too bad we're heading up to NW Iowa on Tuesday. lol
Have a good weekend.
