Oklahoma City

Charlie was happy as we left Los Alamos, a group of firefighters stopped at the bagel place in town.  They had four wheelers loaded on their trucks.  Charlie got out of our truck wearing his firefighter hat and pointing at the four wheelers... they loved him!

We drive through the hottest weather, it registers about 106 most of the day.  We only make a few stops because it is just too hot.  We stopped at one rest area that went over the highway and the Air Conditioners were broken.  What amazed us was that people were still sitting in there eating... it was sweltering in there!  Getting into the car my leg touches the chrome on the step and I scream....super hot!

We had to stop and see the big Texan that a few people had told Greg about...it is a giant steak you can eat- we looked for pictures of Adam Richmond eating it (Man vs. Food) but didn't see that he'd been there.

We get a hotel in Oklahoma City downtown at night and Greg has to figure out how to park the camper in downtown!  (luckily the hotel parking guy directs him).  Katie is all loopy in the hotel and since we've been listening to Harry Potter nonstop she says she is going to "Nick Food", like Ron does.  She gets Charlie saying it as well.  Luckily we got upgraded to the club level or whatever and there is some food out to "nick".  So we get some apples and get everyone finally settled down...it was about 100 degrees still when we were checking in at about 9pm!
