DAY 29 -30 BLOGGood evening from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma…
Day 29:
Was a rest over day after the marathon drive from Lake Powell, we relaxed and had a pre-Birthday Piñata for Michael, that Nicholas picked out…What do you get a kid that has everything, of course a “Hannah Montana” Guitar Piñata…What a hoot!
The RV Resort we stayed out was very nice, and we met such a fantastic lady…Hi Beth! She hung with us and she kept us all entertained with stories of her travels.
Day 30
The morning started off with a floor filled with balloons for Michaels 14th Birthday. After we had a morning B-Day celebration and said goodbye to Beth and her husband Lee, we pushed off for Oklahoma City. However, prior to leaving we found a nail sticking out of our new tire…so with a repair in the parking lot of the Texas Visitor center, we were back on track.
The pan handle of Texas was very flat, so flat somehow the Motorhome got up to 85 in a 70 and a state trooper gave me a ticket to remind me not to speed! LOL!!!!
Oklahoma’s roads were bad and rough as SEVERAL have warned, but we managed and got to the Oklahoma Memorial safe and sound.
This is the first memorial I have ever been too, and it was very moving and surreal. It is a beautiful tribute to those that were lost. If you are ever in Oklahoma City or can visit this site, I have to say it is worth it.
After visiting the site, it put the day’s events and life in perspective. It is simply amazing how fragile life can be at times.
God Bless all of you and thank you for supporting us on this journey!
Until the next blog, please have a very blessed day!

Dear Wanderer's
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely pink Hanna Montana pinata. WHo would have thought it would match Michaels luggage so well...LOL.
Pull over yankee, don't you know the speed limit? Or were you hurrying back to face your coruption charges in NJ.....
OK roads were the worse I have traveled for roughness and especially for stones in the windshield. Must be those settlers trying to get even for the dust bowl present they were handed years ago.
Memorial pictures are great and I am glad you enjoyed it.
Happy B-Day to Maike and stay safe. Watch out for those funnels in the flat lands.
