We got solid aloha cheer from Rachel…mahalo 🌺
We decided to go back to the State Capital Building to check out the library because in reality who knows if we ever make it back to Des Moines.
We thought we’d only go to the library part of the tour but we stayed for the whole hour and it was all super interesting. And a beautiful State Capital building it was. It was built back in the 1880s and most of it is still original and has not been modernized.

We were on our way to Omaha when Edwin sent this picture to Brian
I’ll be there in 8 hours. Perhaps we should’ve done a complete change of plan because we decided to continue on to Omaha, hit the covered bridges which resulted in a late arrival, early departure and not sure if we can really cross Omaha and/or Nebraska off of our list.
And maybe we shouldn’t have stopped into TJMaxx while Edwin was at the auto part store to get these unnecessary yet somehow much needed ugly sweater xmas skirts
Thanks James and Abby for letting us pop in. Your kids are adorable (as you would suspect a Doubrava/Kane cousin would be) The girls loved your kids and if not for our run down to KC we would’ve loved to stay for a bit longer.
