Wouldn't you know it, but when we woke up Saturday morning, there was a yard sale at the campground! We scored some great deals, but I can't share all the details just yet because I found something for my mom. Sorry, mom, you have to wait until we get to GR to see what I got you! What I can tell you is that Zach was thrilled to find a great deal on a brand new water gun! And how fitting because the temps would soar into the 90's for the weekend! As we drove west through Oklahoma, we decided it would be fun to stop in Arcadia, home of several iconic Route 66 landmarks. We decided on 'Pops' for dinner, a soda-shop/restaurant/gas station featuring a wide variety of bottled soda in every flavor imaginable. Blake chose a buffalo burger for dinner while Zach and I opted for regular beef burgers to go with our yummy sodas; any guesses on our soda choices?? Well, I went with the Route 66 Cream Soda, Zach chose Kutztown Red Cream Soda and Blake ended up with Big Red. The overall experience was just ok; we might have enjoyed it more if the service was better. Oh well. We came, we saw, we moved on. But, not very far. While we originally decided to try to get to Amarillo, TX that night, Blake was drawn to a campground just down the road from Pops. It turned out to be a great stop. Temps finally cooled down after sunset so we sat around the campfire and enjoyed the evening. Our camping experience has been great so far, despite the bunk refrigerator and a few other kinks with the camper. The days are long on the road, but the rest is good at night. The Dad Wagon is the perfect camper for this type of travel...all the conveniences for long road trips without all the mumble-jumble for full-on RV camping. Dad would have loved this trip.
An LOL moment: In the morning, Zach came running into the camper saying, "Quick! Quick! I need my video camera!" When asked what it was he saw, he said "Hurry! It's a snail!" LOL
