Day trip to Tulsa

After an ENTIRE day of rain yesterday and being confined to the bus, we were ready to DO something! So off we went to Tulsa, Oklahoma, just 70 miles south of us. We had a bright sunshiney day starting out and a great day in the city.

Tulsa is pretty easy to get around in. Especially with Bertha, our on board GPS. We don't know what took us so long to get around to buying one of these GPSs. We bought it in Branson on our way here and it has been great.

Since we were going to Tulsa anyway, we wanted to go to the BLM office and pick up our America The Beautiful pass(Old Age Pass) now that Terry has turned 62 years old and is elgible. We just 'told' Bertha the address and she took us right there! The ladies there were so friendly and helpful they felt like old friends by the time we left the office!

We pretty much just spent the day looking around, checking out some malls, eating, and grocery shopping.( we are VERY easily entertained!) Groceries and gas are cheaper there than in Kansas. We paid $2.29/gallon for gas and that is much lower than in Coffeyville. So, while we were there we just filled up with gas and loaded up on groceries. By the time we started for home it was well after dark and sprinkling rain. We will most likely make a few more trips to Tulsa while we are here.
