Des Moines July 3

Last morning for the Wing Ding....made a final swing through the vendors and ended up with new helmets! (I think our fellow travelers managed to find all the items they were looking for as well.)

The Wing Ding was over at 1:30 p.m. The remainder of our afternoon was spent doing some maintenance on the rides and generally relaxing.

The hotel has veggies and pretzels with drinks in the evening so no one was interested in a big meal this evening so we topped it off with dinner a McDonald's!

We ended our evening with several games of Farkle with new friends from Sioux City, Iowa. (Farkle is a game using six dice that is easy and loads of fun!)

One of the perks at this hotel is the shuttle service. Given the fact that this Wing Ding was not in a single location the shuttle was a God send. The only complaints we heard were about the fact that the location did not afford the opportunity to see all the motorcycles in one location; that one had to travel away from the convention center to participate in the light parade, etc.

Tomorrow it is supposed to rain - heavily - so we'll get the gear ready for the ride out on Monday. Happy 4th of July!
