Secret Mission Complete!!!

Yes, SuperFans, we did it. After 4,387 miles and nearly 3 1/2 weeks later we can say we have successfully completed our mission. Now it is time for you debriefing. Proceed only if you are able.

Our mission took us through the awe inspiring Rocky Mountains beginning in Denver, Colorado. We then experienced the beautiful red rock around Moab, Utah on our way to the eternal desert of southern Arizona. We enjoyed the hospitality and fun of SuperMom's family in Tucson. Monkey enjoyed saying, 'look, a cactus!' every few seconds.

After nearly a week in the 'dry heat' of Arizona we headed northward to the land known as Utah. SuperDad got his fix talking cars with Uncle Junior and going out on the 'desert' to find cool rocks. We then ventured even further north to visit the rest of the family in Happy Valley and Valley of the Salt Lake. The SuperKids were once again overloaded by meeting a large number of grandmas, grandpas, aunts, uncles, and cousins. Some for the very first time.

NOTE: For all the family and especially friends that are reading this blog and saying. "Why didn't you visit me/us?!" we apologize. Our time and energy was limited. Plus, were alot of you to visit!

After about three weeks the SuperKids began to grow homesick for Iowagners HQ. We endured the drive homeward through the less than exciting portions of Wyoming and Nebraska before entering the beautiful, rolling farmlands of Iowa. As much as we enjoyed visiting with all of our family (and a few friends), Dorothy Gale said it the best, "there's no place like home!".
