Last one to post........... Part 30

[tubachick]

the next day our goal was to get to nm/tx boarder.

much of the MO runs along the interstate and is hillside/cave attractions. We have stopped at the caves before so we drove past those and headed in to OK.

sorry if anyone has any friends or family in OK.... but its BORING. most of the attractions here have been "updated" or are no longer here, which is sad, but thats how evolution works I guess. The most exciting part of OK was seeing a water tower that said the town was the home of Garth Brooks

the weather was great today and we cruised right into TX. We had to get to the big texan for dinner.-- home of the 72 ounce steak (eat it and you get it for free--and no we didn't order it but there was a guy there who did-- he didn't finish)

we stayed overnight outside of amarillo

DD just called. She and her fiance came up here (in the county) today to get their marriage license. (I don't think there's an appropriate smilie for that!)

how are we feeling about the wedding lately?

 

[eeyoresmountainpals]

It looks great (from what I can see )

I need to figure out the problem to see why I can't save them larger. I hate that DH has it set up for automatic downloads/upgrades from Dell.

Hmmm....maybe I could do it on my laptop. I'll try that later.

Ooohhh! hot mama!!

Yeah, right.

I think both you and shadow's hair looks great!!!

that's why even though we're so close to OK we NEVER go there!

and it's a good thing you didn't try the big Tx dinner that's A LOT of food

I think I'd like to give that 72-ounce steak a try!

I forgot to post about our dinner last night. We went to Outback and I had the coconut shrimp as an appetizer. Then the blue cheese and pecan chopped salad. (I wanted to try something different and it was okay but I don't think I'll have it again.) And for the main course I had the 12-ounce Outback prime rib (If you've never had the Outback prime rib it's oven roasted prime rib then they add seasonings and then it is seared. The searing makes it seem a little like a regular steak on the outside and prime rib on the inside!) and I added a lobster tail. And, yes, I ate every bit of it!!!

Anyway, Pam, back to your trip - it sounds great. Keep the reports coming.

From what I can see your new do looks GREAT!

 

[eeyoresmountainpals]

how are we feeling about the wedding lately?

Um, less and less thrilled!

 

[Mom2Ashli]

Um, less and less thrilled!

I just hope she is not making a mistake.

Thank you. Shadow's just getting his spring coat. He looked so gnarly about a month ago 'cause he was shedding and losing his winter coat. But now he's getting his spring/summer coat and he looks so healthy and pretty.

after our huge steak dinner at the big texan, we slept in late (ok so it was 8 CST) and headed over to the cadilac ranch -- we had to take pics and leave our marks on the cadilac's!!! then is was off to NM!!

In NM we saw many "old fashioned" gas stations. It was a little rainy today, but the pics came out nice... you can see some over on the flickr site if you havent' looked already http://www.flickr.com/photos/82457082@N00/ --search toobachick --

we stopped at a few roadside attractions and a car museum. It was fun.

I enjoyed NM and the landscape here, although we did see more of it than the usual person since Rt 66 starts and stops so many times here. We'd be driving along and then there would be a road closed sign-- no warning -- but we just got to see some of the sites twice

our goal tonight was to make it to AZ we had to see the wigwam motel in its floursent glory.

we did!! just at dusk we arrived at the wigwam motel and they were turing on their neon signs and it was awesome. The pictures do not do it justice. The rooms were cool looking and it was pretty crowded, I purchased a few postcards from the lobby and we headed into flagstaff to stay the night.

Mmmmmm...sounds great!

Um, less and less thrilled!

I'm hoping for the best

DH and I both think she is, but she won't listen to us. I wish she would realize it before she gets married.

Now that they'll have the license I think there is only a three day waiting period. So I would be that they'll be getting sooner than May 19th.

Kathy - try doing your picture on your laptop. I would really like to see how it is fixed. It looks too cute.

Why didn't you stay at the wigwam motel???

I think I'd like to give that 72-ounce steak a try! .

the funny thing is I asked the waitress how many people actually eat the whole thing and she said its usually the ladies that can finish it. DH really wanted me to try, but I really didnt want to sit in a car for 10 hours and be sick

I'll give it a try!

And the sad part is she will coming running home and you and DH will have to heal all the wounds. And at that time I told you so won't go over very well.

I am really sorry she feels the need to rush into something.

Honestly I don't understand the whole we have to be married now thing. Live together and try and figure out if this is the right move for you.

My theory is that even if I couldn't finish it at least I'd have lots of leftovers to take with me!

I'm really enjoying your reports!
