Howard Johnson Inn Tulsa Ok

Our first night of camping. We visited Will Roger's birthplace that was only a couple miles away. We walked on the boat docks down in the marina. There were a couple hundred boats there, pontoon party boats and sail boats. We saw some really beautiful sailboats.

We're already halfway with an ETA Casa Grande for Sunday. Gray day, fairly easy driving with no specific highlights. We're parked in a KOA attached to a Casino where we will have dinner and may spend a few nickels for fun. The trick is to never play the winnings, otherwise you loose everything. We're moving at a rate of about 300 miles/500 km per day, basically 6+ hours of driving. Thinking of you.

... place up!!<br><br>The big excitement coming in to Tulsa was we got a flat tyre on our rental. Matt changed the tyre and we had to stop at the car rental place at Tulsa International Airport to swap it over. Anyway, got a new car okay and then this morning we noticed the front left tyre on the new car was looking suspiciously flat-ish as well!! We went back to the airport and they swapped it again for us. So fingers crossed that third time's teh charm!!

I made Juan drive through downtown Tulsa. Nuff said. &gt;.&lt;<br><br>Pics tho.<br><br ...

Ok..we have 2 more days till we depart.  Is everyone getting excited?  I know I am.    I just received confirmation from the Hotel in Alabama that we can make signs for the doors.  So let's get those creative juices flowing and make some signs.  Use your imagination and fake fur..maybe a splash of glitter..  Don't forget the coaches.. there is nothing more manly than a coaches name thats been bedazzled.  Here are a few pictures from the car wash.. 

... about for 4 days. What are the girls going to write? (I'm scared what some of them might say) Maybe I'm more confused why their parents would trust us with their kids. Kidding.. <br><br>I've uploaded pictures to see how this will look. I'm excited. So here you have it<br><br>Your BA Storm 2009...

... and Alex watched a movie in the van while I made updates to the blog.<br><br>We gained an hour in Tulsa. Our accommodations at the LaQuinta Tulsa Central were perfect. It was new, clean and friendly. The boys went swimming. Alex learned how to do the doggie paddle. We ordered in from the local Italian eatery and watched Kathy Griffin's D-List. Alex engaged in his favorite bed jumping activity. The girls were very relaxed overall.

... t thank her enough for getting Stacey, Ruben, Alexa, and their significant others out (and to keep it a secret). We had lot's of good Mexican good and too many good drinks. My last few days in the US were spent in Dallas enjoying the great food and spending time with Tanya. On one our last nights outs...we even managed to see an authentic India rickshaw patrolling the streets of Dallas. Crazy. Enjoy the pics.

... over a barrel they would be slapped with a 5 second penalty. Pretty stiff. That was all good fun so then we decided to go to a western wear store and look for boots and hats. Greg bought a pair of ropers and I wanted a hat to go with my boots, but man are they pricey. So we will wait until Fort Worth. until then we are in Oklahoma city...today we will get on the road again to Dallas-Fort Worth.
