Happy Days are here to stay!

We are currently in McAlester, Oklahoma, and staying in the James Dean room in the Happy Days Hotel. It’s this really cute hotel with pictures of James Dean all over our room. There’s even a parking spot reserved for Elvis! To recap, this morning we left Columbia and decided to take our time as we made our way in the general direction of Dallas. Instead of listening to road trip music, we’ve been watching movies. We’ve made our way through Gone With the Wind and The Man Who Would Be King, although most of my time was spent looking at the pretty Missouri scenery. Illinois doesn’t look like that! We made our way slowly through Missouri, making a long stop at the lake for lunch and using our GPS navigation system to explore areas around the lake. We spent about 12 hours in the car and are definitely ready to sleep. Tomorrow we will have only 2 hours until we make it to Plano where we will be spending the night before the game- I can’t wait to see what Texas has to offer!
