Day 1--Oklahoma!

"Oooooooooooklahoma, where the wind comes sweepin' down the plains"...We have arrived after pulling out of our driveway at 6:15! Haven't seen too many plains yet, nor is the Wind sweeping, maybe tomorrow on our way to Kansas. Of course as we finally found our RV park, Twin Fountains, it started pouring rain! But now that we are set up, it is clear and sunny!
Tom, our new GPS system did us well...we only got slightly lost once when Phil insisted that I35 went to the left! It did NOT, and We learned to listen to Tom from now on!
Going out now to see the Oklahoma City Natl. Memorial, eat a good dinner and back to the camper for a good night's sleep since I got up at 4:30 and Phil at 5:15. More tomorrow when we arrive in Salina, KS.

  1. Glad to hear you made it safely to your first stop....and good to know you have "Tom" with you! Remember when you came and babysat Daniel in Amarillo when he was like 8 or 9 months old? Jeremy and I went to OK City and saw the bombing site -- was only a makeshift memorial then with teddy bears, letters and all kinds of stuff on a chain link fence. Very touching then, I can only imagine now.

  2. Jacalyn, they left the chain link fence of the make shift memorial because it was so touching. I am posting a picture of it, and the memorial at night.
