First Day......

Today was the first day of our vacation and it was everything a vacation should be - beautiful sights, fun experiences, and driving until you can't stand it anymore! But today was awesome! We saw waterfalls and dragons and castles and mountains and a bear cave! Of course I'm posting pictures of all of this on my dotphoto space as fast as my little connection here will allow.
We had to leave a little late this morning because it was actually raining when we got up. We left around 9:00 am and headed South. It rained on us through Norman at least. We were in no hurry to get anywhere (since we had no plans on where exactly we would wind up!) We took the scenic turnouts and piddled. We decided to turn off and headed to Turner Falls. I don't remember ever being there and of course Colton's never been there. It was very cool! Beautiful! Colton got to swim around a little and chase minnows in the pool with the big falls. We will definitely be stopping there again on the way back to Oklahoma to spend more time.
We actually started looking for a place to stay while we were still in Oklahoma. We stopped at Lake Murray, but they had no place to stay. It was very late before we ever found a place to land, but we are not far now from where we will be staying. Tomorrow we will meet up with our friends and they have plans to attend a shrimp festival in a nearby town. That sounds like my kind of festival!!
For now, we're going to bed! Driving so much wears you out! Nighty night!
