OOOOKLAHOMA!

Hello from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma! 

What a day it's been getting here!

We left our beautiful hotel in Little Rock, Arkansas after a continental breakfast. Our stay was very comfortable. The room had everything we needed and was absolutely gorgeous. It was the most modern styled hotel room we've stayed in thus far. I mean, everything in the bathroom was square! If that isn't modern I don't know what is.

When we left the hotel we got right on to I-40 and headed toward Fort Smith which would take us over the boarder of Arkansas into Oklahoma. I was able to drive for a little more than 100 miles from Arkansas into Oklahoma and that was definitely a drive to remember. As we got closer to the boarder we started looking for the "Welcome to Oklahoma" sign. We were ready and waiting for five miles to see that sign. We almost thought there wouldn't be one but we found it!

Almost as soon as we entered Oklahoma we noticed a change in the landscape. It got a lot flatter and we could see for miles ahead of us.  We also saw more farmland and areas of land where the fire that has been on the news passed through. It is truly an all American scene with the blue skies above and the amber fields below.

About 200 miles later we arrived in Oklahoma City. Like all the other major cities we went through we could see it long before we got to it. We were taking pictures of it left and right  as it got closer. 

When we arrived at our hotel we were very relieved because we took a few wrong turns trying to find it! They really need to invest in a larger entry sign. But other than that, the hotel is absolutely beautiful! The decor is very southwestern and it fits the area perfectly. We had a very filling dinner at the hotel's restaurant before putting all our belongings into our room. As we settle down for the night, we are watching Shark Week. It's really interesting how Jaws the movie impacted our view of sharks.

Tomorrow we will be on our way to Tucumcari, New Mexico and pass through Amarillo, Texas on our way. Granny and Brenda say they aren't looking forward to going through Amarillo because of the smell. I can't wait to see (and smell) it all!

Galloping towards dreamland,
