Is this heaven, Ray? No, it's Iowa.

I love hanging with the fam, but I have to admit that I was a little less than excited about traveling to Iowa. Corn and nothingness right? Plus, to get there, you have to drive through Missouri, and I wouldn't wish that on a sworn enemy. Missouri sucks. Hard. But seriously, why can't I have family in Hawaii, or the keys? Even Boston would be sweet. Heck, the Red Sox could have used my help this weekend.

A pox on the yankees. I left it lower case for a reason.

Anway, I gotta tell you, this place is beautiful, shades of green that I didn't know existed. I'm not going to waste my vacation talking about it, just look at the picture to the left. By the way, I am doing a pretty good job of going out of my way to have fun... you should try it. I still don't own a purple tutu, but I have added many more smiles to repretoire. Lot of love in this blog...
