Hello kids & peoples.
Well our second stop, Branson was amazing to see. We didn't hit any shows but took in the scenery and did a tad bit of shopping. The hills were awesome and frightening for me as the passenger. Dad wasn't too worried.
After 3 nights there we took off and ended up at a KOA about 20 miles West of Oklahoma City in El Reno. The next day we headed for New Mexico and made it. We stayed just inside the border at Tucumcari.
The trip through the northern pan handle of Texas was an eye opening trip. Traveler's aren't encouraged to stop, in fact, signs advertising gas and eats lead you to long defunct establishments. They don't attract you to stop at all. Northern Texas just isn't at all welcoming.
After a night in Tucumcari we drove to the opposite side of the state and are in Gallop NM and expect to leave in a few hours and hopefully, make it to Apache Junction. If not, we'll spend a night in Show Lo, which is also on the eastern side of Arizona and about 200 miles from our final stop.
We are both really looking forward to getting off the road and staying in one place. I have to save this for now and put the pictures under another post. It won't work with me this a.m.
Love and prayers. Mom and Dad (or, Tim and Diane)
SECOND STAR ON THE RIGHT AND THEN STRAIGHT ON TO MORNING The days of "Retirees on the road, living in a tin can" are over and replaced with "Retirees in Las Vegas, near grandchildren". This could be a huge mistake, but then again . . .

What are you doing up and typing at 5:02 am??? :)
I'm glad you guys are doing well and having fun. I have off through next Wednesday. Jorge and I may take a road trip down to Gurnee and maybe one of their casinos this weekend, but other than that I have no other plans except to relax and unwind.
Jorge was born and spent his early years in Texas...I'll have to find out where. I think it was south somewhere. He says he loved it and misses it. I'm guessing it was a different part than where you were.
I'm off to bed soon, so I'll talk more later - I missed a call from dad (didn't listen to the voice mail yet). My phone was in the car. Sorry 'bout that.
Love you tons!!!
Jennifer (and Jorge says hi)
