Legal Question in Family Law in Iowa

In my divorce decree it states "Father shall make travel arrangements for Holiday Visitation". In my mind that means i just arrange pickup and drop off. I want to meet my ex wife Half Way as usual. I live in Des Moines and she lives in Cedar Rapids. It certainly doesn't say, "Father is RESPONSIBLE for pickup and drop off for Holiday Visitation".

Recently it was my weekend and Mothers Day fell on my day so I met her "half way" on Mothers day morning. I can't imagine it would be my responsibility to drive my son all the way back because it is HER holiday.

Thoughts?? This can be interpreted differently by both of us..

You always have the option of going back to court to have a judge tell you what you already know.
