Made it!

After five hours of prairie grass, cows, and a whole lot of flat, we have arrived in Oklahoma "City," Oklahoma. I put "city" in parenthesis because I've yet to see anything other than a whole lot of strip malls and chain restaurants. Perhaps we just haven't seen the actual downtown yet... The trip went well with Christopher sleeping for about 1 and 1/2 hours (not as long as expected) and fussing a bit, albeit only when I was sitting in the back with him. Once we got everything checked in at the hotel, we had to search for a quick dinner. Although Brian suggested Hooters because of its close proximity (just kidding! just kidding!) we ended up at On the Border, eating the world's fastest sit down dinner as it was well past CJ's bedtime... It is exciting to be here (really!) because you see a ton of cars with bike racks on the back and stickers proclaiming their racing accomplishments (70.3, 140.6, or simply "run."). Plus we are once again in a state we never thought we'd be in (and one of only 3 states my Grandpa Clyde never went to). We have no idea what tomorrow will bring other than Brian needs to get himself checked in at the expo in the afternoon. CJ and I may go exploring at some point because there is only so much you can do at the Crown Plaza hotel in OKC. Sweet dreams!
