Ever realize that you need to cut you loses and hit the road? We did, I know there are a lot of people who just love Amarillo,TX, but I have to admit, David and I are not fans. We paid through tomorrow for the RV park that we were in Amarillo, but decided we did not want to stay in that town one day more! To our friend, Drew Grigson…you are correct, there is NOTHING in Amarillo but wind!
We talked about our future plans on Saturday evening and decided to head out to Oklahoma City Sunday morning. We were hoping for better weather, but there is a good possibility that tomorrow, Monday, will be just a tad better than today. It rained almost the entire way from Amarillo to Oklahoma City….really tired of rain! Remember, I’ve been a Californian for almost 17 years…no rain after mid April!!! Yep, pretty much spoiled!
So we have crossed the BIG STATE OF TEXAS, and yes, they really think everything is big here. Well, there is a lot of land, but I still think that I would have been happier in Texas if we went further south, but Mr. Jenkins wants to stay close to I-40, so I’m done. We did come past the tallest cross in the US, or so they touted it as such. It was pretty fitting that we came across it on a Sunday.
We have arrived in Oklahoma City and I would love to talk to their city planners! You cannot get from point A to point B in this town! After calling our RV park and getting more explicit instructions on how to navigate to their park, we finally made it! Oh, yes, I hear you all…my GPS system had us in the entirely wrong place!!!
It is a beautiful RV park and we plan on staying at least through Tuesday morning. Tomorrow, we plan to go to the Oklahoma City National Memorial Museum….I get goosebumps just thinking about it. This Wednesday is the 15th Anniversary of the Federal Building bombing, so I am hoping that we will be able to tour the museum and outdoor symbolic museum.
After David and I discussed our future plans last night, I told him that after Oklahoma City, I didn’t see anything more of interest before we got home to Clarksville. Arkansas has no decent RV parks and besides the Clinton Library (which we’ve already seen), there isn’t anything of interest for us. David said, “so, why don’t we go to Alabama and see Jill?”. MUSIC to my ears! Jill is my oldest daughter who lives in Florence, AL. There is lots to see down in that area…Helen Keller’s birthplace, the home of Alabama the musical group and lots of other stuff. Besides that, it is the homeplace for my oldest daughter, son-in-law and my two beautiful granddaughters!!
So stay tuned…we are not in Tennessee yet!
