Drove to Wichita and headed south on I-35 south, destination San Antonio, Texas.
We camped at Lake Thunderbird State Park, south of Oklahoma City.
Last night we looked at Texas guide books.
Kathy mentioned that she had always thought it sounded neat to go to Big Bend National Park.
After reviewing information about the park, Chris agreed, so this is our first destination via Wichita Falls. The guidebook says that aficionados of national parks would rank Big Bend N.P. in their top five list!
We will visit San Antonio on the way back. We plan to be their by Saturday, so we can attend the Mariachi Mass on Sunday at a mission that was started in the 1720's (the mission started, that is!)
This morning we ate breakfast an an IHOP in Norman, Oklahoma. They have WIFI, so we decided to start this blog.We will continue to use this for further reports on our vacation.
Family members will be sent the first post. In the future, you can log on to rippelvacation.blogspot.com

So how was the IHOP? Sounds so exciting. Was there many different flavors of syrup? Did you take pictures. Gee, I hope so. What can Chris eat at IHOP?
Do you think the IHOP was rated in the top five in the country too?
Do you think Great Bend and Big Bend are similar? Is there any jealousy? What makes Great Bend great compared to Big Bend?
What made Wichita Falls? Did it trip over the big bend?
Are you going to Crawford to see my friend George?
Mike, thanks for your comments; keep them coming, because I enjoy reading them more than writing the blog! You bring up some extremely good points; important ones, too. Chris says to stay tuned; we will eventually answer all your questions.
