We were up at 4 am to finish packing and to make sure the boat was secure in every way before leaving for Des Moines. We were on the road shortly before 6 am and had an enjoyable, albeit long, drive to Iowa. After a quick stop in Iowa City to see Kelle we arrived at Jess, Joe, JT and Jake Spalding’s house in Urbandale (Des Moines) just before 7:30 pm. We had stopped and picked up Asian food at a Tsing Tsao restaurant and were pleased to see that both JT and Jake, our youngest grandsons, were still up.
Joe was working the late shift at his restaurant, so Jess, JT, Gale and Maureen enjoyed our takeout meal before it was time for the kids’ baths. Jake had been to see the doctor today and was diagnosed with “baby reflux.” Everyone was hoping the new medication would help settle his stomach and allow him and his mom and dad to rest better at night, too. Everyone but Joe was in bed by 10 pm – he came in about an hour later and said there wasn’t a sound to be heard anywhere in the house.
