Day 4 Sunday

Today tops off a great trip. Son David and D-I-L Kelsey drove to Jackson from Minneapolis and arrived around 9:30 am. They do the aunt and uncle thing with the boys. The boys cooperate with no urping on their aunt and uncle. They also visit Esther in her apartment. Photos naturally. We have lunch. D & K leave for the cities. We leave for the Sioux Falls airport around 2. Rumor has it that the Sioux Falls security is overly tough but Keri, Kathy and the boys get through with with few problems although they hold up the line a bit.
I can't do more so I get in the car and head for Nebraska. Eric is flying to San Francisco so I'm traveling solo this round. I DON'T take Nebraska 77 this time. There's little traffic in Omaha as Nebraska fans are probably in hiding and denial due to the Nebraska loss to Texas. I stop in York, Nebraska and consume one of the elusive Runzas. From York I contact the Holiday Inn Express in Kearney. The "best price" starts lower so we only negotiate $10 off tonight. I pull into Kearney around 10:00 after driving 443.3 miles from Jackson.

Day 5 tomorrow
