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
