The drive was pretty uneventful until we got to Tonkawa. We decided to stop there for a late lunch and bio break. Now normally, we stop at a roadside park and I fix us lunch in the trailer. But today we decided to eat on the road 'cause we were all ready to get back to the house. So we stopped at the Love's in Tonkawa OK. It is a combination gas station, truck stop, and Subway. The way it is setup, you drive past the gas tanks and building to semi parking at the back of the lot. I gotta tell ya that Max is getting pretty darned good at backing up our rig into a semi slot!
We went in and got our sandwiches, thinking that we would eat them on the road. Again, the way that place is setup, the semis have to drive by the semi parking area to get to the diesel gas tanks. And there was a BIG line of trucks waiting to get to the pumps. So we were able to completely finish our lunch and still wait some more. It was so crowded and backed up that one of the truckers got out and started directing traffic. Who woulda thought there would be a traffic jam at the Love's in Tonkawa?!?! The traffic-directing trucker finally took pity on us and created a small slot for Max to pull through. I wonder how long we would've been there otherwise.....
So we are home again safely. Now all that's left is to unload and clean up. It is amazing how dirty the trailer can get, both inside and out. Yes, I clean the inside along the way, but it still is never enough!
Oh! And today is Miss Gabi's birthday! She is 3 years old today. And here is how she celebrates. Grin.
Actually she and I just finished a round of playing and roughhousing on the floor. That, combined with a day of travel has apparently wiped her out!
Cheers,
