I drove the RV for the first time today. Wow, it's a monster to drive. At times Norma and Michael would scream and yell for me to get over b/c they thought I was going off the road. We went to the Meramac Caverns, a cave where Jesse James was known to hide out. Getting to the caves wasn't an easy task. The road was very curvy and narrow and no shoulder, which meant if I did go a little off road we would end up in the ravine. I feel like I need a deep tissue massage after driving this beast. We also stopped at a small antique shop along the way and bought a vase. We ended our days travel in Sprinfield, Missouri at a Doubletree hotel. We thought Norma deserved it. Which brings to mind, the 64,000 dollar question. Everyone wants to know how long Norma will last on this trip. She's been quite a trooper and I say she's going all the way. According to Michael, she doesn't have a choice. We now refer to Michael as Sparkie. He's been keeping his eye out for a red Ferrari. Tomorrow we hope to get out of here around 9 and explore Oklahoma. Until next time....

Norma the first night trying out the pull-out bed. Look at her expression, priceless!
The first few minutes in the RV. Norma looks terrified and unsure. Now she seems much more at ease and is a huge help with the kids. I don't know what we would do without her.
