Well, driving again... and we had lunch at a Cracker Barrel (at least over half the company did, while a few others went to another place nearby). It's always fun going there ...
Our first stop on the road was at the Winter Quarters temple and visitor center. It was a plan we just made the day before and it was great! We saw a movie about the early saints then toured the Visitor Center. After that, we walked the Pioneer Cemetery and Temple grounds in the rain. That temple is simply beautiful!!We finally stopped in Des Moines, Iowa to stay the night at an Econolodge. The first thing we did was find food ... and that was at the Eastern Buffet. Ahh the memories of Chinese cuisine. Quite good too. Very impressed with the place. We were even able to barter from $9.25 to $8.50 per meal. Go Julie (our tour manager)! Then, the first thing we did when returning to the hotel was jump into the pool. It's the highlight of tour for dancers to get in the hot tub...don't quite get that one yet. But I had a blast. I haven't been swimming in a while. It was really fun! We made a video of syncronized swimming, played Marco Pollo, chilled in the hot tub, etc. Then off to our rooms. Some dancers may have planned on heading to QT down the road (I wanted to go just for you, Nor, but it didn't pan out quick enough). I was ready for some relaxation time in my room. So, here I am, blogging and preping for bed. Tomorrow is going to be a great day!!! Our first performance and some good morning sight-seeing.
