Thanksgiving - Day 7

Up early - wanted to beat the thousands of other Texans on the highway! Had breakfast in the hotel and then got on the road (0800L). Followed I-35, along with many (many!) RV's with Minnesota plates headed south (I guess they are the Texas version of "snowbirds"...). Stopped for fuel in El Dorado, KS, but didn't stop anywhere else until we arrived in Edmond, OK (around 1230L). Went into town and found a place called Freddy's Frozen Custard. The food was great - it was a nice local place to experience. Got gas nearby and then drove into Oklahoma City on US-77. It turned into I-235 and then I-35 - with hardly any traffic! Made great time the rest of the way (no more stops, either) and got to the house around 1630L. Glad to be home - and relieved not to have had any nasty weather while driving!
