On a Saturday morning 5th April we left for a trip to IOWA state to visit a relation. The place is Ames, IOWA state...... a distance of 300 miles from Peoria on a inter-state highway. The drive was superb and boring as the stretches of road are straight and monotonous. It was 4 and half hours non-stop drive, though we stopped over for loo after 2 hour drive. The GPS facility is excellent device where a traveler can can find the location without missing the spot.
Visit and lunch at Sanjeev and Veena family..... nice lunch prepared by Veena and we enjoyed the food and house kept neat and clean. 5-year oldTejasi is their little daughter, very cute and affectionate
