We had a lot of fun on our driving tour of "Our St Louis". We drove by the kids school, Sarah's ice rink and then we stopped at our first Mt Calvary Lutheran. We saw Pastor Z and Matthew had many memories from preschool. Our journey continued as we drove toward the seminary. Lunch was at one of our favorites, Duffy's restaurant. They have great burgers! We drove around the seminary including our apartment. We made sure we saw Forest Park, the Zoo and of course as planned, frozen yogurt at Ted Drewes. We didn't leave St Louis till nearly 2pm!
Everyone in the family took turns driving. I started out after the ice cream and drove a few hours. Matthew drove next with Dad riding shotgun through some heavy traffic with lots of trucks. He did pretty well! Mary drove next for about 4 hours! She had some heavy traffic too and stopped near Tulsa where we ate at On The Border, it was pretty good. Sarah returned her salad as it wasn't the house salad she had thought it was. She added another soft taco instead. Well the waitress noticed that she pulled off the tomatoes and brought the next one minus tomato! What a waitress. Sarah drove the next leg. It seems that everytime she drives, there is a curve ball. As we left the parking lot of the restaurant, Sarah said looks like we need gas. We drove another 10-15 minutes on E looking for a gas station in an unfamiliar city. Finally we found some gas and we were on our way to Norman. Jeff drove the city tour and the last leg to the hotel.
We need to get up early and leave for OU by 0830, so I am getting up around 7 am. We hope that it won't be soo hot that we can't enjoy the campus to the fullest! We'll let you know.
