Road Tripping Across Oklahoma and Texas
I meant to post this yesterday, but we are traveling and I didn't have consistent access to the internet. We are headed across Oklahoma to Texas for the funeral of a dear sweet elderly woman we knew from church (we used to live in Texas). So the next post or two won't have much to do with homesteading, but I wanted to share a few things with you lovely folks!
First off, in Oklahoma City we stopped for lunch at a place called Hugo's Taquizas. My thoughts: I am pretty picky when it comes to restaurants, with regards to cleanliness and location. This place got an F for cleanliness. The bathroom was awful! Also, it is in an older part of town... a pretty run down area. I will say, though, that the food was excellent and the prices superb! If eating here, I would suggest getting your food to go. Here are some pics of the food:
Next we traveled through the Yukon-El Reno area where a big tornado had recently hit. When seeing the aftermath of a tornado, I always get chills. So terrifying to think people were trapped in the path of such an intense force. Here are a few shots I got of the damage from the road:
Our last stop before our destination was a place called 66 Sweet Shop in Elk City, Oklahoma. They have the most amazing snocones called "Salty Frogs". Sooo good!!
We finally got to our destination of Plainview at about 8 p.m. yesterday evening. We had a great time seeing old friends that we consider family and also were glad to be able to pay our respects to the passing of a sweet Christian woman. Today we are headed back home... pray we have a safe trip and don't run into any storms! (But for the record, if we do see some storms, I will be sure to get some pictures for y'all!)

I love little hole in the wall diners. We always try to find them when traveling. I try very hard to not pay attention to the cleanliness or lack thereof. Especially if the food is delicious.
ReplyDeleteSafe travels!
If I hadn't needed to go to the bathroom before eating, my first impression would have been a lot better lol. But would I go back? YES. It was that good!
DeleteLove this, especially since I am an Okie born and raised. Love all the little hole in the wall places we have here, they are amazing
