3 States 1 Day....

Today started off in Jackson, TN. We quickly made it through Memphis (sorry we didn't get to visit, Elvis) and into Arkansas crossing over the Mississippi River. The bridge was as big as I remember as a little girl. This time I knew we would go under the big metal beams and not over. We lunched in Little Rock at Jims Razorback Pizza and it has to be some of the BEST pizza ever! We decided to go for Oklahoma and drive in a bit and find a hotel for the night. Needless to say Oklahoma on I40 leaves a little to be desired in the way of plentiful hotels (unless you prefer the Kikapoo Inn). We ended up making it to Shawnee, a little town 30 miles before Oklahoma City and found a rather new hotel with an indoor pool. Denny's was next door so dinner was taken care of as well. After dinner Shane and Shaley took a dip in the pool and hot tub. Micah passed out by 7:30 so I unpacked and got things ready for the night and morning. Shaley returned barely able to keep her eyes open. She had a nice bath, some milk and magic tablet and was out cold by 9. Our kids also napped on the trip today for 2 hours. We are so blessed...we have had good weather and wonderful passengers. Looking forward to tomorrows venture. We are off to Tucumcari, NM.... (look it up on the map :)
