Tate and I decided to leave Monday evening instead of waiting till Tuesday. I really didn't want to leave home early, but we knew it made the most sense. Monday evening, we made it to Broken Arrow, Oklahoma and stayed at SpringHill Suites. It was so nice and the room was huge! I have had super good luck in getting hotels by bidding on Priceline. On average, I save about 40% on the regular Priceline price.
We ate breakfast there...and enjoyed the waffle maker :)
We left the Tulsa area, and headed south. We stopped in Durant, Oklahoma for lunch at Subway. Right after crossing into Texas, traffic really started picking up.
The Texas stars everywhere are so cool.
We were really brave today and decided to take an adventure into downtown Dallas. We came into town about 1:30, thankfully. I can't imagine how the traffic must be at rush hour. The best part was, I got to drive! I actually wanted to..just so I could say I did. We stopped at one of the few American Girl stores. Some lucky little sister may be receiving a surprise in the mail soon :)
In the same shopping center, was the Dallas Galleria mall. It was huge and completely packed. People were going crazy with buying after Christmas sale items. Thankfully, we didn't stay there very long. It was interesting to see a real Louis Vuitton and Tiffany & Co. store, though.
After getting out of the awful traffic, we made it to Waco about 5:45 this evening. We are staying in a Clarion hotel in Waco tonight, just east of Baylor University campus.
Tomorrow morning, we head to San Antonio to spend the day and night there.
This trip has been pretty relaxing. It's much easier to travel at a slower pace. Back on the road tomorrow!
