Select Tulsa Hotel

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.

So 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. <br><br>I'm sitting here in the office trying to figure out what am I going to ...

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.<br><br>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 &amp; I have both visited the Arch before, so we didn't make any stops here.<br><br>We did see a Nike Outlet at one of our roadside stops. Jerry went ...

... our planned trip to Cancun. Sucks...I was looking forward to it. In replace of sunny Mexico...I made a last minute adjustment to go to sunny Florida to visit mom. Plenty of sun, seafood and fishing were in store and I had a great time. Back in Dallas (again) Tanya had managed to organize a surprise birthday party for me at one of my favorite restaurants...Javiers. She did an amazing job hiding it from me and I ...
