Day 1 of Bob and Kate's Great Adventure


Of course, things can 't be uneventful. The day before we left for our trip, I thought I had a bug fly into my ear. All day I felt a buzzing noise, stuffy feeling and had an irritated ear. I went to Prompt Care for them to remove the bug. The Nurse Practitioner was very excited to get to remove a bug and was very disappointed to find out, there was no bug. Just lots of fluid moving around in my ear. I have been on antibiotics for 2-3 weeks for a sinus infection so I didn't have any infection but she prescribe a prednisone pack. I am hoping this works before I get to the higher elevations!

So, after picking up the prescription we hit the road!

First stop, Antique Archeology in Le Claire, Iowa. Fun stuff to see, had a bunch of stuff from their picks on display and lots of stuff to buy with their logos. We were right on the Mississippi, so we took the opportunity to have a picnic lunch at the riverside.

Next stop, The World's Largest Truck Stop! Yes it went on forever inside. Bob was able to find some replacement pins and new pins for his hat and we continued on.


 

We had planned for this to be our biggest travel day so we were on the road for almost 10 hours with stops in those 10 hours. Settled for a cheap motel in Sioux Falls, SD.
