Days 42-44 R & R Midwest Style

Arriving in Sioux City, Iowa wasn’t just the midway point in our journey. The entire tri-state area was also Jess’ old stomping ground. Our 3 days of rest and relaxation were also a flurry of social activity; meeting grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and siblings. We were fed, questioned, pampered, encouraged, quizzed and housed by Jess’ family. It was a wonderful introduction to the Midwest and most of Jess’ entire extended family!
