Woke up and started driving again about 6:00 AM. Drove to Oklahoma City and stopped for breakfast at Ingrid’s Kitchen (another “diners, drive-ins & dives”) for breakfast. It was very good. While there, we met Wendy Williams and had a really nice chat with her. She told Floyce the location of a couple of antique shops and that’s where Floyce is while I write this. I look across the street and see gas for $2.53 per gallon and decide to fill up while I can get it that cheap. I only have 570 miles to go and I can make it on 1 more “fill-up”.
We go on a little farther and take I35 northeast toward Wichita where we stop at an oasis in the median of the Kansas Turnpike for a burger and a shake. Directly across the road,we saw this field of sunflowers. As we continued on we ran into a hard rain and drove in it for about 10 or 15 miles. Because we wanted to watch the all-star game, we stopped at about 4:30 in Emporia Ks, found the S & S Café for dinner, checked into the Fairfield and called it a day. Right across the street is a Staples store and Floyce had suggested we buy one of the digital photo frames, so we stopped by and did that before checking in for the night.
