Day 3 (January 6th) of our Trip


The internet acess wasn't too reliable or we were barely at our hotel, so these next posts I'm doing now (once I returned home).

Joplin, Missouri to Ardmore, Oklahoma

This sure was a fun day. Our hotel in Jopin had a big breakfast, was very nice and inexpensive. About 10 we left our hotel and soon entered Oklahoma and went to their visitor's center. We decided to visit the Will Rogers Museum in Claremore, Oklahoma. It was a nice museum and an enjoyable break-up from the many hours in the minivan. We learned quite a bit about Will Rogers too. The state of Oklahoma is so funny. They advertise their "Free Restrooms" and constantly tell you,"Do Not drive into smoke." Also we went to a McDonalds to use their restrooms, and there were 7 stalls, we'd never seen so many stalls at a fast food. In those restrooms there were signs that said "Don't forget your purse" and "We are Very Proud of our restrooms." Then their billboards: "Hi my name is Bill Board. I'm available. Call Me." We stayed the night in Ardmore and visited their library. Je bought herself a tote bag. The scenery in Oklahoma is not much different than Illinois or Missouri.
