Oklahoma trip plans

Day 1: Drive from Berryville Arkansas to Canton, Texas. It was an 8 hour drive...pretty good drive and easy. The kids watched movies on their new car DVD players. Kaela and Gehrett enjoyed the ride! When driving through <B>Oklahoma</B> the temperature was 98 degrees! The Airstream did great and the only trouble we had was the topper that Aaron bought to put on the truck kept opening. When we got here to Canton, we arrived at the Rock High Ranch, which is where Aaron's 20 year reunion was held. He got to see his friends from school, especially Alan, his best friend from school. Pictured below on the r...

Summer Road Trip 2008

16 day trip

We made it to Chattahoochee, Florida our 1st day. David thought that "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" was based on the Florida State Hospital located there. Upon further research, we found that there was a movie based on the mental institution called "Chattahoochee" (1989) starring Gary Oldman and Dennis Hopper, but not the Jack Nicholson film. Mona helps Daddy find Tiger stadium at LSU. We spent the 3rd day on Lake Saracen in Pine Bluff, Arkansas (an hour outside of Little Rock). Photo of Tally and David driving into Pine Bluff. We made it to Little Rock, AR today. This is where my Dad was b...

3 Dog Night Road Trip '08

52 day trip

Last night, after making sure we had everything packed for our trip, Mel and I went to sleep at about midnight. We woke up at 4:00 a.m. and left at around 4:30. We didn't make it far, however, because about 20 minutes south of Wichita, there was a severe lightning storm with hail ranging from golfball-sized to baseball-sized pieces. I seriously thought the windshield of the car was going to shatter, so we pulled underneath an overpass and sat there for about 10-15 minutes until the storm passed. The first two states we went through were <B>Oklahoma</B> and Arkansas. I have been through both of those ...

Florida Summer Blast 2008

12 day trip

On the way up there, we had to go through a series of small, Texas towns to a large city called Gainesville, then you have to turn right and the HWY takes you straight into <B>Oklahoma</B> City. Well, I somehow missed the exit, and ended up getting on the HWY that leads you into New Mexico! About thirty minutes later my mom was like, "Are you sure we're on the right road?" After we passed through a German/Texas town called, Muenster, which had many signs advertising their special bratwurst (I had to pull over to the side of the road to snap a photo of that), we knew we had missed the exit somewhere. ...

Oklahoma City trip

2 day trip

We're about to start driving! Everything is packed, the car is ready. Yesterday I picked up the car from Adventures on Wheels, located in New Jersey. The car is a black Ford Focus, year 2000. It has some minor scratches and dents, but those have been noted by the company, and it drives just fine. After getting the car I had to get it back to New York of course. That's already 70 miles, especially if you take some detours (in other words: get lost..). It started already at the George Washington bridge, which leads into Manhattan. There was a long traffic jam there, and when I finally got off th...

Road Trip USA 2007

25 day trip

Well, after a slow start, the movers finally came and we left Pittsburgh at 4 in the morning. Let's hope our bad luck has run out and the rest of the trip goes smoothly. We arrived at my parents house in Ocean City, MD around noon where we spent the afternoon catching up. We had dinner at Crab Alley right down the street where we got some authentic Eastern Shore all you can eat crabs and lobster. The plan is to head to the beach tomorrow and take a swim in the Atlantic before heading for the Pacific! Mini-golf and beach time in Ocean City. Wild ponies at Assateague Island near Ocean City. Val'...

Driving To San Francisco

11 day trip

I got up early this morning wanting to be on the road at 6 in the morning. We did not end up leaving until 10 am. It seems that my daughter was having a hard time leaving her cat. It took about 11/2 hours for her to give the instructions on how the cat needed to be taken care of while we were gone. Then a whole bunch of little things kept popping up that delayed <B>us</B>. We finally hit the road and ran into a little bit of rain but for the most part we had a safe trip and a nice drive. In Pennsylvania we learned that crayons are made there. The first banana split came from PA, and the slinky dink a...
