Contrary to Joseph's assertion, yesterday was a fun day. As we entered Dubuque, IA and crossed the Mississippi River. Guess what? It is BIG and MUDDY. We saw (from the bridge) a park along the river and stopped to make lunch. We decided (despite the "No Wading or Swimming" sign...come on, you only live once!) to go put our hands/feet in the water. The mud was SO thick and DEEP. Most of us (Tom and Laurinda were party poopers) took off shoes off and walked to the edge of the water, in ankle deep mud! It was squishy and awesome! While sitting by the river we got to see a huge barge ship....and (as you might expect) a Mississippi River Boat.
From Dubuque, we drove to Dyersville, IA to the "Field of Dreams". It looks JUST like the movie! The kids ran the bases and played a "baseball" game while Tom and I sst on the benches soaking up the evening sun. We spent the night at the George Wyth State Park in Cedar Rapids, IA. We are off this morning to South Dakota. Our destination is Keystone, SD, but as that is over 10hrs from here, we will be making an overnight stop, hopefully in Mitchell, SD.
Have a great day everyone!
