More friends and family in OKC

We push over to Oklahoma City to meet friends and Advanced RV owners for lunch at Toby Keith’s restaurant in Bricktown.  We enjoy their company and her latest paintings that she is delivering to a local art gallery.  We show them the newest Advanced RV model and they share their ideas for future designs.  From there, we hurry north to meet another couple who are traveling back to Phoenix in their new LTV Class B+.  We look at each other’s motorhomes and share travel experiences.  With them, we take a quick tour of the National Cowboy Museum, especially the Walter Ufer Exhibition. We regret not having more time, but hurry off to pick up our son just south in Norman, OK.  With him, we walk the campus of the University of Oklahoma, where the red bud, tulips, and daffodils are opening.  For dinner, we meet our son’s business partners at the Ranch Steakhouse in OKC for the best steak dinners we’ve ever had.  The company, food and service were outstanding.   After dinner, Mike drives I-44 east about an hour.  Midway between OKC and Tulsa, we pull off at a turnpike rest area where we park in a line of at least 50 tractor-trailers, with drivers sleeping and engines idling.  We pull the curtains, make the bed and are asleep in 10 minutes.
