Midwest Vacation -Part 5

It's Wednesday. Mom and dad left for Missouri and Marcia and I headed to Des Moines to visit with Matt and Lori. On the way, we stopped at Theisen's in Marshalltown and increased the farm store count to 3. Marcia found the shoes and just had to buy a pair.



The joy of new shoes was quickly extinguished when we exited the store and found it raining.





But then we went to Taco Johns for lunch. I forgot to mention that we ate at Taco Johns in Ames on Monday, so this is the 3rd Taco Johns stop on our trip.



After Virgil dropped Marcia off at her sister's house in Des Moines, he headed over to visit The Woodsmith Store.



Here's a view of Matt and Lori's house and each direction of the street they live on. It's quite a different look than in AZ.







We were really hungry by now, so Maegan made supper for everyone.
