OK, so I won't really make us drive straight though ... although ... I've seriously considered it.
On the way home we'll be staying in another hotel that will be new to us. For some reason its been a bear to book at our usual hotels (I've spent 5 hours today trying) so we're going with some different ones. Drivers, before you get upset about the out-of-the-way location of this one - keep in mind it was this or pay a lot more per room.
We'll be at the Hilton Garden Inn in Des Moines, IA. You can check it out here
