Dawn of a new day! The 60-70 mph winds from last night's storm blew the heat right outta here.

| Day 5 - departing Marshalltown |
Morning temps in the low 70s. B52s feeling perky and ready to mingle and boy did they mingle.

| Team B52s with Iowa cheerleaders |

They took the leisurely 90 mile ride through the countryside - reloading on calories at every, and we mean every, opportunity.

| Devouring cinnamon rolls (and a banana for Betsy) |

The team arrived in Cedar Rapids around 2:30p and headed to their HOTEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Best Western is the best hotel in the world - bar none. It was the perfect time in the trip to reach a washing machine and we took full advantage. Everything in the hotel is accessible internally so we never had to leave the premises.
In bed by 9:30pm - except Gwen, our master blogger. She has been our workhorse and the team is going to treat her to an all-expense paid trip to Anamosa, Iowa. She is speechless.
