No idea. Apparently a nice sky and more importantly time to catch up on our cross country adventure.
St. Louis is my favorite so far. Amazing day and hotel. I'm sure Winston will say Kansas City although we just drove through it.
We left wed morning for Kansas City so we could be at our next hotel for a 1:00 check in. Jennifer found a great wolf lodge along our route and figured wed give it a try. I had seen posts from Denton and other high school friends about how much fun it is for families.
We had Winston at indoor water park.
It did not disappoint. While I thought it was a little pricey for one night it was excellent for kids. They had a blast. It's an indoor water park with other amenities that are extra and happens to have a hotel attached. Great concept but felt like bass pro shops wanted to make a Disney land hotel. Don't get me wrong I liked it and the boys loved every minute of it. Since we were in the water pretty much the entire time we didn't get too many pictures.
Thursday we left after a little time in the water park to drive to Tulsa. The drive was great as we were off the interstate and felt like we saw southern Kansas and northern Oklahoma. Beautiful countryside that reminded a lot of the piedmont of NC. Rolling hills, farmland and little mom and pop stores... But more wide open and less trees maybe.
If you ever need to navigate in unfamiliar areas trust the waze app. It is great for this trip.
We arrived in Tulsa to see my great aunt and greenwood cousins with a great welcome. It was great to see Pamela and Nate and everyone else. We truly did plan to come that far north just to see them and had a great time.
Winston loved playing with his cousin max and uncle Tim, aunt ann and aunt Pamela were great hosts. Thank you all!
While we wanted to stay longer the baby was sleepy and cranky. We left with heavy hearts knowing we would kiss our distant family but resolved to visit again.
Our next stop was for Jennifer to see the Oklahoma City memorial. She thought she would just walk in see and and walk out.
I knew better having seen it 12 years ago.
She took Winston in and was truly moved.
We pushed through and Jenn kept the boys happy long enough to make to Amarillo Texas. Next stop
Sante Fe!
