ROAD TRIP TO IOWA

It took us 4 days to get to IOWA from WASHINGTON state. We drove across Idaho, Montana, and South Dakota-which by the way I absolutely hated the most! The car had been packed tight with lots of our belongings so Joaquin had basically driven in peripheral limits. Our butts were sore; our skin was dry; our lips were chapped. The road was a mess with the whole weather situation: cold fronts, storms and disaster areas. It wasn't nearly as bad as the news reports had implied it would be but it surely wasn't safe...especially not in Joaquins car, an M3 (rear wheel drive). All in all, we made it to Iowa safe and sound in snowly conditions and below freezing temperatures.
