Sunday August 22

We got back from Dubuque this evening. We had a really good time at the car show. This was a Mopar show, so there were lots of Chargers and Roadrunners and GTXs and everything Dodge, Plymouth and Chrysler! There were 10 cars in ouor class, all of which were absolutely beautiful! We didn't get any of the prizes, but then when you saw the caliber of competition we didn't think we would win anything! Craig and Sue got first place with their 64 Polara 500. Craig worked very hard putting this car together. First place was well deserved. His car is beautiful!

Last night we cruised with these Mopars. We were out cruising for about 2.5 hours. We saw some gorgeous farmland and beautiful houses. We went up into Wisconsin and then back down into Dubuque again. We hadn't eaten supper, because the official cruise started at 4:00. So when we got back to the hotel, we ate breakfast for supper (at Perkins). I think Bryan really enjoyed the cruising last night. Today though, he wasn't quite as impressed. Sitting around on the asphalt at a car show wasn't his idea of fun. I understand. It's fun for about 3-4 hours, then it gets tedious...especially when the sun comes out on a very humid day! It got hot really quickly!! Thank goodness we had our canopy with us. At least there was a good breeze!

The ride home was good. We always try to go a different way so that we can see different scenery. I was getting very sleepy though, so I was very glad to pull into the driveway here at home. Now, my bed is calling me. More later...
