This weekend Grandma Jo took Claire on a road trip to get some driving experience. They went down to Keokuk, in the tiny SE portion of the state that juts into Missouri.
Over the course of a couple of days, Claire drove 11 hours, down to Keokuk and back up the river.
One stop was at the house where Grant Wood painted his famous “American Gothic” work. You can look back at our visit to Grant Wood exhibit at the Cedar Rapids Museum of Art a couple of years ago.
Claire was challenged to drive down “Snake Alley” in Burlington and reports only touched the curbs once!
one year ago…
When I did RAGBRAI in 1984 (from Glenwood to Burlington) I THINK we came down Snake Alley (Maybe it was an option) but it sure sounds familiar!
bahahhahah ur weird
