Cross Country Trip Day 5

Let me set the stage for you and explain how we were feeling by this point. I was so sick and tired of traveling by this point. I was tired of hotels and cars and I was so sick of living out of a suitcase. So needless to say but this was the hardest day for me personally. I know it was Mike's hardest day simply because it was a 15 hour drive and it was almost 900 miles of driving. We started our journey in New Mexico, then into Texas, then Oklahoma and then Arkansas.

I didn't get any other pictures of Texas since I was driving through half and sleeping the other half but Amarillo was fun to see and it was a pretty place.

So if you don't already know, I was born in Oklahoma and lived there until I was two years old. I don't remember much about it but it was great to go back and see it. I didn't expect Oklahoma to be so green. It was beautiful. Their were rolling hills and emerald green trees. I loved it there until.....we noticed storm clouds on the horizon and a huge line of stopped cars in front of us. It really didn't help that my mom and mike's dad were sending texts like crazy telling us that a huge storm, complete with tornadoes, was heading in our direction and we were stuck in traffic. Anyway, long story short we finally got through Oklahoma City, away from the storm and out of Oklahoma. Not before getting a picture of the Muskogee sign...that's where I was born

"The Natural State" was our last stop today. I was so very happy to be at the hotel. I didn't do very much driving today since I was scared of the storm and you don't want a nervous person behind the wheel. All I could think about when we got to the hotel and I was trying to sleep was that we only had 800 miles to go.
