Christmas in IA & KC, back to Fort Myers FL

Emily and Tom included Samuel in the baking of Grandma Margaret's sour cream twists. 
They were yummy!

We've seen alot of Bald Eagle along our great loop route, but about a mile south of our
 house in Pella on the Des Moines River is always great location for them in the winter.

Pat (Tom's sister) and Angie enjoying wine on Chris and Rachel's porch.  It
did not feel like Christmas day with temps in the 60's in KC.

Always is good when our families can be together. We got to meet baby Stella!

Missing Ben! He would love this leggo display.  Tom needs to
have a scuba diving day with his sons. (No I do not scuba I snorkel with Emily).

We arrived back from our Christmas break at 1:30am.  We love this marina Legacy in
Fort Myers.  Nice neighbors and we were surprised to run into some other friends we made along the way!

We are thinking Brother Dave and Ben Lyng would love these sinks in their shop.
This is at the Ford Garage restaurant in downtown Fort Myers.  The food was great.

Tom loved presentation of his food.  Note the shop towel as a napkin and the radiator hose clamp napkin ring.

Okay so I had to sample to make sure the wine is good when it is served in a can! (And it was good)

The redline is approximately our route so far. 2700 miles.
