Lost

We finally got around to taking Brad's jeep in to get fixed.  We had what we thought was a simple plan.  I was going to follow Brad in my car to the shop, pick him up and take him back to work.  Everything was going great up until the first stop light.  Yes, Brad went through at the end of a yellow leaving me with no choice but to stop.

No big deal I knew how to get there right, WRONG.  I thought I saw Brad turn down a street further up but once again WRONG.  So I'm going in circles trying to find Brad meanwhile Brad has turned around trying to find me.  So why haven't we just picked up our phones and called each other.  Oh that's right I left my phone home.  Was it this chaotic back in the days when cell phones didn't exist.

Once I realized I was thoroughly lost and honestly had no clue where to find DRAKE GARAGE I stopped at a gas station and asked.  After getting my directions I wasn't even close I quickly jumped in the car and made my way over.  I finally got to the garage and there was no sign of Brad or the jeep.  So being the lost and confused person I was at the time I went in and asked if they had seen a guy who brought in a green jeep.  Finally one guy mentioned he saw him walking the other direction.  EXCELLENT,  once again I jumped in my car and the chase was on.  Sure enough I find Brad walking back towards the school.  

REALLY, this shouldn't have been so difficult.

SUMMER GOAL

Brad and I will be sticking around Des Moines this summer since both of us will be working.  So I figure it's about time we figure out what there is to do in this flat corn growing country.

My list so far:
  1. Buy a mountain bike for Charlie
  2. Go Mountain Biking
  3. Check out Saylorville lake
  4. Rock Climbing, we here Climb Iowa is pretty good
  5. Go on our own high adventure since Brad can't go with the scouts.
  6. Find somewhere to go Kayaking
  7. Hiking 
  8. Camping
  9. Go to Ledges State Park
And so much more...So if anyone has any other suggestions, or knows some good places to enjoy outdoor fun please let me know.  I'm still very new to Iowa.  

Better yet let me know if you want to come.
