Ames, Iowa = Coldest Place on Earth!

Well, not really obviously. But when we traveled there 2 weekends ago with our good friends, The Baadte's, it was so cold that even hitchhikers were holding up pictures of thumbs! We would step outside and our fingers would freeze. We would get in the car to drive somewhere and by the time the car got warm, we were there and had to get out.

Overall, it was a fun, short trip! We got to see KU beat Iowa, experience nightlife in a whole new town and get carded by a cop trying to bust people in the bars. But more than anything, we were just happy to have made it there alive. On the way up, our friend, Mike, apparently didn't like using the metal ugly thing sticking out on the side of his car. (Those things are what we call "side view mirrors").

In the end, it was a fun, short road trip and we had a blast. Here are a couple of pictures...
And we had to take a red shot in honor of Matt...
