Day 4: Amarillo, TX to Joplin, MO
We made it to Missouri today. The original plan was to stop in Tulsa and then drive home tomorrow but when we encountered this…
after at least a hour of whining we chose to keep going until…
Woohoo! We saw proof of the drought all the way through Oklahoma and into Missouri. For those of you not from here – the grass should be green – not brown.
After we cancelled our reservation in Tulsa I had 2 hours to find a new hotel in Joplin. I did a smashing job and found our favorite hotel – Homewood Suites and for the cherry on top it just opened Monday so we are staying in a room the nobody else has ever stayed in! You can still see the seems where they laid the sod.
And because we made it to Joplin we got to eat some delicious Mexican food with my aunt and uncle. So glad we were able to see them! Meant to get a picture but we were having such a good time I completely forgot.
Only 6 more hours of driving tomorrow with stops in Springfield and Columbia to visit friends and see new babies!
