Home Again

Jon and I had a journey to pick up the kids from their Momma on Sunday afternoon. We got a wild hair and decided to leave Sunday and spend the night somewhere. I started out with some misgivings as I already had a slight cold but I thought what the hay, it's better than driving 14 hours in 1 day. We drove to Yukon, Oklahoma (the home of Garth Brooks) and that is where we stopped. We checked into the first motel we saw (Hampton Inn) and carried our stuff. You'd think that we would have less stuff being just 2 but no we had 2 bags of crap. The room was excellent, great bed and bathroom. I will remember these things in the future. We then went in search of food, we picked Santa Fe Steak House. It was one of the best steaks I have ever had. Then we drove around to see what was in town, it's kind of like a suburb of Oklahoma City. We went in and walked around Target but didn't buy anything. Now that is only because we knew we were getting 2 kids and their suitcases. I drive a Tahoe and you'd think that would be enough room but no it is definitly not enough room. We are thinking about a suburban. We then went back to the room and watched basketball. The next day we ate breakfast at a cute little restuarant called "Jimmy's Egg" and then I drug Jon through a craft mall. He didn't think that it was as bad as could have been. We got on the road and what should I see....a sign for the Oklahoma City Zoo. I love zoos. I talked Jon into walking around the zoo, which is just what my cold needed. It was a really neat zoo but it was COLD. We didn't get to see the whole thing because we had to get on the road and because it was COLD. I guess I got my date after all. When we picked up the kids they were excited to see but so very sad to let their mother go. We started the long road home. The poor souls got to listen to me sneeze and blow my nose for the next 300 miles. It was horrible. We finally got home and flopped into bed. YEA!
