After the excitement of Costa Rica, followed by the dizzying stimuli of Las Vegas, our next trip this year was a bit more subdued: a weekend road trip through Iowa and Missouri.
Still, the trip included some highlights neither the girls nor I had experienced, like visiting the town where Chris grew up:
 |
| Boy Wunder's boyhood home |
 |
| Where our future hero had his first job |
and eating at one of his favorite restaurants, The Machine Shed:
 |
| Pork. It's what's for breakfast. |
 |
| Hi Cow Pig. I ate you. |
Although Iowa is always a popular mid-winter vacation destination, the purpose of our trip was our annual trek to Kansas City for a Super Bowl party. Over the years, this party has morphed from a group of 20-somethings watching the game in the big home theatre, to scattered groups of 30-somethings chasing children and watching about 5 minutes of actual football. The beer and wine consumption, though, is relatively unchanged.

| Haha, oh Mom. You won't be able to watch a sporting event in its entirety again for another 18 years. |

"Can you believe how quickly Oreo responded to the blackout?"
"I know! I wonder if any other brands will try to do the exact same thing over the next two months?" |
