Two Hotels & a Funeral Home



Deciding to pull off for the day, we stumbled upon the fair city DeWitt, IA. As we cruised the main only drag we had 3 choices for accommodations. First we came across the West Wind, that looked like it may have been a motel you would not want to be down wind from. We decided to keep moving. The next motel was the Winsther, which although having an empty parking lot - seemed to be in decent shape, but not wanting to make a rash decision we thought it would be best to check out the final motel in the city. Unfortunately the final motel was in fact a funeral home. Better update that listing Google Maps!

Settling on the Winsther we were delighted to have the honor of staying in the John Deere Corportate Suite - at least if the corporate suite would have nothing but homemade John Deere paraphernalia including:
  1. Bedspread
  2. Bed skirt
  3. Curtains
  4. Table
  5. Calendar
  6. 2 styles of chairs
  7. Clock
  8. Wall paper
  9. Lamp Shade
  10. 4 corporate headquarter prints
  11. 2 John Deere "Art" Pieces
  12. And headboard
The bible however was plain old Gideon.

Moving on to dinner we walked over to TC's Point After. After hearing REM for two blocks, we realized the entire main street was wired for sound - a nice addition. TC's was a quality choice and thanks to Adam's recommendation I enjoyed my first Iowa Chop - an overgrown pork chop.

Heading back to the hotel we realized that we have the perfect number for a game of Sheepshead and Chris and I have now taught the group - it looks like it will be a late night!

Thanks for following us and make sure to check us out tomorrow as we continue to Chris's destination...
