road trippin' to Iowa

The Road Trip Mobile... and yes, it has a spoiler. not really sure why

To all of our Iowanian friends, we are thinking of taking a little road trip out your way either September 1st through 8th, or September 4th through 12th. Of course this would include driving days on each end, hopefully a day and a half or two days at most, but with a one-year-old who knows. We will have a little test run when we drive down to the Outer Banks in July, so hopefully it goes well! Anyway, take a look at your calendars and let us know what you think. It should be fun to come out and hang around Ames for a couple days, catch up with friends, eat at Hickory Park, go hike at Ledges, etc. Anyone with experience driving long distances with a little tyke can feel free to offer suggestions too! I was thinking we could just take the back seat out of the van and set up the Pack 'n Play back there... kidding of course. kind of. Let us know what you guys think!!
