Congratulations!!! Congratulations to all of you. What an adventure! So glad you are headed home. Summer Vacation movie soon to follow.
Can't wait to see you, in person!
When's the next bike ride??
whoever said Iowa.... my father use to say that life is meant to be looked at backwards, unfortunately you must live it foward. And so you are this week a small microcosm of that qoute. do you think the memory of this week will be more amazing than the doing of it...And as a friend who asked herself, do you think these people are even cooler (that is just a figure of speech here and not a temperature) than before. Those anwers are easy..."you betcha"...thanks for keeping in touch and enjoying the ride..
keep going You guys are great!! Keep going. What an adventure! I feel like y'all are my kids... All the fabulous things they've gotten to do that we never had the opportunity to do. You guys are living right. Maybe not the RV thing... 5 star hotels are my thing!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can't wait to talk about the fab trip.
Stay safe and keep going!!!!!
Love, Debbie
Stay cool Love reading about your adventure but please be careful in this heat. Heat can be deadly to the elderly!! :) Drink lots of fluids (i.e. wine) xoxo
You are TOUGH!! Kelly, you might get the prize for the littlest cousin but clearly you should get the prize for the toughest cousin as well!! Be good to yourself out there and I am praying for better weather! Take care!
Take it easy'!!!!!! Love hearing from y'all! Take it easy. The heat and crazy hours of riding could be bad. So glad the toilet is fixed. Sounds like you will gain weight on this trip. Lauren was at her heaviest when she hike 240 miles across northern Spain in about 15 days!!! Locals bring out the good food!! And wine in her case. I think the RV is stocked well. Right?????
Worried Everyone is worried about you guys-it has to be a struggle for everyone with the high temperatures and dewpoint. Be smart and careful. According to the internet Thursday will be a good day-high of 88.
Once an Iowan always an Iowan. This is the time to do this sort of thing and with fun people.Be safe. Dr. David ( I am stickie) joke from years ago.

Jennifer Slingluff would love this trip Wow, your first blog entry certainly painted a colorful picture. I am sure weatherman Willis is keeping up to date on the ever changing weather conditions. Tell Willis that South Charlotte had 6 to 8 inches of rain in 2 hours yesterday, with 3 1/2 inches falling in 45 minutes. The roof at Southpark Mall collapsed in 2 places and flooded the mall. Mall closed indefinitely. Ben knows that Ann normally thinks 6 - 8 inches for 2 hours is a good thing but in this instance, it wasn't. Good luck & drive carefully!!
I hope y'all are video taping this adventure. You could have a movie to make. Sounds like the beginning of a National Lampoon's vacation movie!!! Keep us posted and safe travels.
Go Team Greenlee Smith Hey All! Can't wait to have you in Iowa biking your fannies off, enjoying the scenery, people and of course the roadside food! (Note, I didn't say roadkill food! : ) ) Keep up the great work, it will be worth it in the end and you can put a check it off your bucket list!
Hugs and Kisses!

No news is not good news! PLEASE let all of us know every single night that all of you have made it safely back to the RV, wine in hand, and relaxing after that days' ride!
Ann, Willis, Kelly and David are training for Ragbrai 2012. It is something that has been tossed around for several years to do but this year we are checking it off our bucket list! Ann turns "50" on July 18, we leave for Ragbrai on July 19th in our RV. We have been training for about 4 months. First we all had to get bikes, this was an important purchase! Learn to ride them, work our brakes and gears, drink while driving, and most of all be clipped in! Yes we have had several tumbles learning to be clipped in but we have all mastered it somewhat. Then of course we had to get the "outfits" , b... full info
