Day 8, Saturday, Oct.
25
Time to head for home. We had an afternoon flight to catch in
Omaha, so we headed over to I-29 south, which took us through Elk Point, Union
County, SD where my Grandpa Ogden was born. It also took us along the Missouri
River into Iowa, our fourth state in a week. We stopped in Sioux City for
breakfast. They had some pictures on display of the long-gone Sioux City Corn
Palace. I never knew that there was more than one of them.
All in all it was a great trip. We got in all that we wanted
to do. We had great weather. I got to visit the graves of six of my eight
great-grandparents, three of my great-great-grandparents and one of my
third-great-grandfathers. I saw, photographed and took soil samples from six
farms. My wife got to see where Willa Cather lived and visit a quilt museum and
a quilt shop. Next vacation we go wherever she wants and do whatever she wants.
She earned that and more.
