Day 2: July 15th, 2014: Anita, Iowa to Pierce, Nebraska

Good Morning Iowa!

We started the day the perfect way with a little family snuggle time.  Snuggle time today eventually ended the way most family snuggle time does these days, with a tickling and wrestling fest.  Neither Scott nor I got up to exercise.  I think Scott was politely waiting for me and I slept in way longer than my usual internal summertime clock of 5:30.  That may have something to do with still being a little too sensitive to the sounds of passing freight trains, dogs barking, and the ranger asking the dogs to leave.  As with all trips I will eventually get tired enough and learn to sleep through the new noises.
