2013 Vacation Day 1

Vacation 2013.  Day 1 of 36.  Depart Waco.  Can’t find GPS so turn around & go home to look for it.  Found it where it had fallen behind the driver’s seat.  Depart for second time.  In OKC saw road signs saying I-44 was closed west of Springfield, Mo (this was August 7th, 2013). It's 106 degrees out. Ugh hot. Arrive DH’s parent’s house in Sedan, KS about  8 pm-ish.  Chatted.  Had 3 layer sour cream chocolate cake with Cool Whip Frosting for DH’s “birthday cake”.  Yum.  Called Mom May to ask about I-44 closure and it was closed at exit 172 (Jerome, MO).  Stayed up till about midnight talking.  Laura finished knitting a Plymouth Yarn Chunky scarf during the long drive.
