Dallas, TX to Des Moines, IA
691 miles / 12 hours
We left Dallas at 7:30 on the dot, knowing full well we wouldn't arrive in Des Moine until 7:30 p.m. It was a long day in the car, thankfully it went smoothly. Grace was very content reading her books for a huge portion of the morning and we were back driving through Oklahoma in no time.
This is the third time we have driven up and down the same highways, so we're pretty familiar with the sites. This is our favorite...
Who knew? All this time we've been living in New York and on the road...when what we should have been doing was attending the Big Gig School of music in Calera, Oklahoma (population 1900). Maybe we would have landed a big gig by now!
Around the time that we were checking out the Big Gig, Grace was starting her own photo shoot in the backseat with my phone. The pictures she took (and there were plenty) basically look like this one.
Then I turned the camera on her.
(This one looks like we just told her we have 6 more hours in the car!)
Missouri welcomed us just in time for lunch!
After lunch, Grace napped and then watched Dumbo, while David and I played name that Broadway show tune. I wonder if they teach that at the Big Gig?
We arrived in Des Moines around 7:30 p.m., just like we hoped we would, ordered pizza, unpacked, and had the best night of sleep I have had in weeks. We're back to hotel living and this bed is wonderful!
Good Night!
