When we got to Ankeny, we were starting to get hungry again.
I wanted an Italian beef and there is an Al’s Beef right off I-80 there. We had stopped for lunch in Tinley Park, Illinois. If we had done a hotel, at least two of us would have had to share rooms. It was cheaper for the three of us to do that and this way we’d all get our own room. We did an AirBnB rental in a suburb of Des Moines called Ankeny. We left GR around 1:30 and with just a couple of stops, we made it to Des Moines just before 9:00 Central time. We drove the 7 1/2 hours to Des Moines (from Grand Rapids…I had to go there first) on Tuesday afternoon.
I was heading to Des Moines, IA for six nights with a couple of co-workers
