Joe's Planning...our greatest road tool !!

I just wanted to give a little insight into how we structure our days.  First I want to say that for the last 2 years, Joe has built us a trip plan that resulted in our itinerary but what you see on the blog is just the tip of the iceberg.  The Chastines and us both have a binder that includes places to see in the surrounding areas of each city we will be camped at...this includes descriptions of what they are, how much they cost and address etc.  This has become our biggest tool for the trip because every time we set up camp in a new city, we immediately start planning what we will do and when. 

Today, for example, is windy and breezy but tomorrow and the rest of the week will be in the 70s and sunny.  So today we will do laundry and visit a few museums and maybe the local farmers market here in Norman.  Tomorrow we will head into Oklahoma City to see the Alfred Murrah Bombing Memorial, the Cowboy Museum and also take a drive down Route 66. 

We are trying to eat at the RV's as much as we can but sometimes we grab a bite while we are out and about.  We also like to play cards when the weather is good and we can sit outside on our picnic table.  We are having so much fun on this trip and I think having planned it out in advance has been a real time saver for us.  We are also sending postcards everyday to our moms and a good friend, so that is a lot of fun for us too.  This is definitely a trip of a lifetime !  Have a good day....TML
