So much for organization!

I organized our things so we would have to bring in a bare minimum when we stopped at a hotel. Well...I put the extra cords to charge the camera battery, phone charger, AND the cord to connect the camera to the computer to be able to download the pictures into the suitcase that we weren't supposed to bring in (where I usually pack them)! Well, we did go back out and dug around and got to the suitcase (which was under everything) and I got the cord for the phone and the camera battery chager cord...BUT I didn't grab the cord to be able to download the pictures that I took on our trip today. And, Woody doesn't feel like going out again...as a matter of fact he is already dozing. So tonight's picture wasn't taken today...but I did see some of these from afar today. We drove around 680 miles today. Woody's goal was to go at least 600 as that would be 1/3 of the distance. So we bettered his goal...but only because places to stay have so far been far and few between here in Oklahoma...now if we had wanted to stop at a casino...that would have been no problem!

We stopped in Shawnee, OK around 5:30 to find most of the hotels/motels here full. There is a Junior Bull Riding event and also a Railroad convention here...but the third try was the charm and we finally got a room a little after 6. We started out at 5:20 this morning, so it has been a long day of driving. The weather has been very good. It sprinkled on us a little just before we stopped this evening. Woody is still bothered by his allergies...they are better, but still not gone. He has been bothered by a sinus headache today. One of the highlights of our day was finding our first Braum's...this restaurant specializes in hamburgers and many flavors of ice cream that can be made into shakes and malts. We find these mainly in OK and TX...but today we found our first in AR shortly before the OK border. We called this our "lupper" (lunch and supper). We had hamburgers, fries and Woody had a butter pecan shake and I had a chocolate malt...yummmmmmmm! We like Braum's so much that we mark our maps as to which exits Braum's are located!

It's good to be stopped for the night. I'm off to watch Dancing With the Stars! I'll blog somewhere between Shawnee, OK and Glendale, AZ tomorrow night...the good Lord willin'.
