Our First Stop

Day One- After a week filled with one swim meet, one birthday party,
two class parties and endless cleaning, laundry and packing, we're
finally on our way to the Grand Canyon! Ahh, now I can relax. Thefirst
stop on our tour is in Wichita Falls (Which no longer has any natural
falls. They were washed away in a flood years ago and a man-made
tribute was built in 1987 But I digress...) We only stopped to gas up
the car, because we didn't fill up before we left (aside-gas is
$1.93/gal here). So, we of course take the required pit stop while we
were here. I exit the car and look up to see a trail of blue-haired
ladies snaking around the corner like ants headed to a picnic. That
could only mean one thing...TOUR BUS!! Realizing what that means, I
start sprinting to the building, weaving and dodging and nearly
blocking my way to the restrooms. Everyone who entered headed straight
to the back and in an effort to bypass them I headed left, which was
lucky because that was the direction of the restroom. I left the kids
to fend for themselves, figuring they could catch up with me. By the
time I hit the door, there were only four ladies in front of me.
Fortunately for Jay's timetable, we didn't have to wait too long, but
by the time Kayla and I left the loo, the line looked like a bathroom
line at a Tom Jones concert. Back on the road, on to Amarillo for the
night.
