    Day 2: Slight change of plans

    May 18, 2017 in the United States ⋅ 🌧 70 °F

    From Jill: We woke at 6:30a and hit the road by 7:30a. It was overcast which makes driving great...no sun in the eyes. We drove to Smithville, MO to see Bill's Scout Master Harley Morlock and stop by Nellie's Sweet Shop! Best fudge in the world! We were on the road again by 11:30a. Next stop was to see our niece Jenny for dinner in Oklahoma City. Then we planned on staying in Weatherford, OK. On our way to see Jenny, the weather got bad. She told us to check on our hotel before heading over there. Make a long story short, there was a huge tornado that did extensive damage to Weatherford and they recommend we not come there and canceled our reservation. Oklahoma was still having severe weather and I drove in torrential rains. Needless to say, dinner plans for tonight were rescheduled until breakfast in the morning. We checked into a cute Hilton downtown Oklahoma City. The hotel is 102 years old, lots of personality and has a piano bar. Just like 30 years ago on our honeymoon. I haven't slept much in the past couple days but tonight i hope to get some sleep! Another early day tomorrow as we meet Jenny at 8:00a then off to Albuquerque.Read more
