... place up!!
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!!
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..
Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, United States bastormsoccerSo we are down to 7 days.. 7 days...For a parent don't blink..For a 14 year old its like..omg that's forever and a hundred. Plus if I hear another teenager say "it's like" one more time I'm ramming my car in a wall.

Another rest stop on the way home. Tulsa was absolutely stifling with humidity and heat when we arrived. I guess we are heading in the right direction.
On the way to Tulsa, we drove through St. Louis. We had a great view of the Arch as we drove through the city. Jerry & I have both visited the Arch before, so we didn't make any stops here.
We did see a Nike Outlet at one of our roadside stops. Jerry went ...
... arch off of I-70)) Our St. Louis and MO experience are similar to skimming a chapter of a textbook; we get the picture, but we sure don't get much content.
The family fell asleep and I pressed on having made reservations (free rewards night) at the EconoLodge in Tulsa. The original plan was to get to at least OK city. The later departure made this a foolish proposition. We rolled in to Tulsa at 1:14 a.m. and got horizontal for a while.
Monday the 8th of June.
My goal is to travel on as much of the Historic Route 66 as possible from Tulsa, Oklahoma to Kingman, Arizona.
While passing through Albuquerque, New Mexico, I'll take a side trip to see my Niece Jennifer and her husband, Matt.
From Kingman, Arizona I will roll northwest to Parhump, Nevada which is just west of Las Vegas.
While there, I will spend 5 days at Front Sight Firearms Training Institute in Pahrump, NV improving my pistol ...
... the Mayo Building. We headed out to find it first thing in the morning. We could see the iconic Mayo sign on top of the building from our hotel room, so we knew it was very close. We arrived to find the cutest, coziest café ever with staff that was happy to entertain our questions. The breakfast blend was being brewed, so we both ordered a cup. Kelly ordered a savory crepe and I had the spinach quiche. The food was wonderful. The coffee had a great taste, but was so mild and ...
Tulsa, Oklahoma, United States 2olives... for my traditional "cleansing" after India and the 24 hour plane journey. Palomar is a great hotel and the wine reception was a welcome relief from bad India wine. Tanya joined me and we had a great sushi dinner. Two days later I was off to Oklahoma to visit the parents for a few days where I was properly fed and fattened up (side note...I gained 10 pounds this trip home). I managed to squeeze in some ...
Tulsa, Oklahoma, United States bwulz... from Massachusetts with his daughter a few days later - unfortunately just after the others had returned to Austin! Due to the recording commitments I had though, we barely had any time together, as I had to head out of town the following morning. Still, we did go out to see the famous musical "Oklahoma!" at Discoveryland, which was admittedly an uncomfortably muggy affair. My niece was thrilled to be able to have her picture taken with the actors ...
