Sunday May 23, 2010 - Minneapolis, Minnesota to Lincoln, Nebraska

Another day of travel. Fairly simple route south on I35S, then cutting over in Des Moines, Iowa to I80W, which led us eventually to Lincoln. Lots of rolling hills and green and farmland. The ride was fairly uneventful, but enjoyable.

We're headed to Lincoln to visit with a Seminary friend of mine, Rev. Michael Brown. He's now the Associate Pastor at Redeemer Lutheran in Lincoln, which seems like a match made in heaven. He has a beautiful home a few blocks from the church, and has been kind enough to let this party of five crash in his basement for a couple of days.

We had a good evening talking and reminiscing and catching up. The kids were immediately captivated by his Lady. Mike is single (as of yet!), but he has a beautiful 8-year old dog named Lady. She's every inch her name, and has been enjoying some extra attention and snacks from our kids, who can't take their eyes off her. A good partnership, to be sure!
